Jeff- What a great scenario! I shared my collection with my Dad and he always seemed to enjoy it. When I picked up something new he always had some memory of the player or team that gave life to the card or publication.

He didn't talk much but he smiled a lot and we sat in silence and watched games together. I lost him at 94 three weeks ago and it has left a huge void in my days. I think my wife and daughter understand.

As a boy he saw Ruth hiking the mountains around here in the Spring as as a teen he worked the field at the Ray Doan Baseball School in the 30s. Jimmy Foxx gave him a glove one year and became his favorite player.

Great stuff, fathers and sons or in my case daughter. That is what is special about baseball to me.
