The link on the memorabilia side seems to be working fine, while the one on the card side is kaput. God, I hate this tech stuff, why doesn't the shit just work!

Well Hank, thanks for directing me to the memorabilia side. Great watch and obviously a priceless memory and experience for you. I didn’t know that Calvin Griffith was the batboy. Makes sense. I can’t help but think that if he was still the team’s owner, he would have made you pay your own way up to Minneapolis.

That would have made it a non-starter! I had to think whether I really wanted to help them claim the history they stole along with my team, but I'm glad I went. They were all "Minnesota Nice," as you see on signs everywhere, and I did feel some healing for my 65 year PTSD from when they took off from D.C.
