That's a possibility. At least it wasn't Barry Bonds' trainer. Only kidding...

you can kid. Greg Anderson was definitely Barry's supplier. Contrary to what you may think, though, Anderson is a decent guy.

I picked up this original 1972 photo of Reggie and Rudi today in Albersheim's auction. I thought the photo's background was strikingly similar to this shot of Arky Vaughn which I don't own. I think it lends itself well to the timeless nature of the game.

Definitely one of my more esoteric purchases: 1940's folding table that has about 100 1957 Topps cards glued to the top and covered with a lucite-like material. Must have been constructed back in the '60's when baseball cards weren't worth much. Has Mantle and Williams and a few minor stars. I thought it was pretty cool.
