It absolutely helps. In the mid-1990s a few of the older scouts looked through the collection and helped out. Most or all of the pieces on Casey Stengel's page are from Mets scout Harry Minor. I stumbled onto the press release about the Colt 45's signing Joe Morgan then had dinner with him the next season. There are a few guys like that in the collection. Lots of fun memories. The connections have been good to me.
