As I said this is a bit weird yet interesting to me and I know my wife will look at me like I am crazy when I tell her what I am going to do but hey, it is something to do on a Saturday......right? LOL

Andrew - I guess I see this a tad differently, I think its very respectful and can also be a way to teach the younger generation values, history and possibly some perspective.
I wanted to see JFK in Arlington very much even though he was killed prior to my birth. I viewed this as respect for the man, his family and the stamp he left on our nation. You can make an argument that these ball players are somewhat similar. This forum shows huge amounts of respect for the older ball players. One day I would love to see the site of L Gehrig and J Robinson. These ball players have also left a stamp on our nation to certain degrees. I wish I had some pics to share.
