I'm not old enough to really identify with Brooklyn fans that way, because while Milwaukee lost the Braves to Atlanta, by the time I was born in September of 1971, the city had already acquired the Brewers, who had, of course, been the new expansion Seattle Pilots in 1969. So I've never known my city to not have a baseball team (though the jokes have been made that the city didn't have a Major League Baseball team throughout much of the 90s, just a minor league team renting out County Stadium.

Anyhow, if you haven't seen it, Drew, it's a must see. HBO Sports can't do enough baseball documentaries to keep me happy. They can do no wrong.

The doc they did on Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams are permanently saved on my DVR. If that thing ever goes, I don't know what I would do besides pray that HBO shows it again. I think the Mantle is available on DVD, so I may have to pick it up. I'd pay handsomely for all of them.

This is currently available on youtube. Thanks for the heads up. It was one of the best baseball documentaries that I have ever seen and I highly recommend it.

Great pick ups and additions to your growing collection of autographs.
Congrats Frank

Finally, added some potential Future HOFers through MAB Clearance Sale and MLBAA Private Signing (Mike Trout, Curt Schilling, Bruce Bochy & Jim Palmer). The signatures are all disgusting, which is a separate issue all together. The Palmer is a double and is FS (PM with offer if interested).

That reminds me of three autographed balls I saw for sale the other day. I couldn't match them up with the signers, and there were only three. Looking forward to the day when glyphs are no longer popular - then Jim Palmer can revert back to his old readable signature.
