They attended the induction ceremony and then all loaded back onto the bus to head back to Baltimore. There was at least a dozen buses, maybe more. I'm getting old ...

A few items from the weekend. I also picked up a HOF Brown Bat (349/500). The numbers were distributed randomly, so the fifth person in line wouldn't have received #5. The bat is at home and I don't have a photo to share. Maybe someone has one they can post.

Plus a 2013 Bobblehead celebrating his MVP and World Series championships

Alan,

Wish I could have attended; was in school that the time and couldn’t make it even though I tried.

Also, do you really need two tickets?!? I have a stub and it’s all sticky for some reason.

Nice bobblehead; I’ll have to pick that example up at some point. Looks nice.
