Can you please send me the link to that auction......I'd like to just see if it is anyone I know! When players came to Vermont (they still do although now with the VT Lake Monsters (A's affiliate) they stay with host families that drive them around and feed and house them etc....
When Griffey came to town my friend's parents housed Griffey in Winooski, VT about 2 miles from the Stadium.
Pretty crazy when you think about it but he would hang around with my buddy (who was in high school at the time) and he got some crazy Griffey stuff! He never invited us over when Griff was there though!!!
Peace, Mike
