Awesome Mark. Looks great. I sometimes forget just how big these Spaulding trophies are. Seeing it pictured next to a baseball shows its impressive size. Congrats. |

I just received this nifty little schedule book. It's a pretty rare item and goes with my 1904 Iola, KS photo from the same league. |

Andy, sweet Wichita pin! And as for the Walter Johnson coins they did go with his game...they were stored inside the little top which you could open and place the coins inside. I've seen the coins sell separately for $10-$20 each. |

Brock... That sure didn't take long! It's nice that you found one so soon (and such a pristine example, no less). Seems like a very rare/obscure item, to have turned up so quickly... |

Thanks Mark. Its safe to say I was pretty shocked when I stumbled across it on ebay. I've actually have been searching for it since this past January and this is the first one I have seen offered for sale or pictured anywhere other than that poster. |

just got this from John Taube...it's from Big Mac's 1998 season, John said it's one of the nicest examples he has seen from this year, with outstanding use, deeply embedded stitch marks. |

it was 10 years ago almost to the day...i also remember that game, that at bat so vividly...i was in a bar in Brooklyn Heights, the place was packed and we were sitting infront of a huge projection screen TV...and he did it...the place went nuts, one of those great moments, like the night Ripken broke Lou's record... |

All i can say is Roger Maris is still number 1 with 61 home runs and baseball should give it back to him. |

I'm in full agreement. Give it back to Maris and remove his asterisk. McGwire deserves to keep that part of the record! |

Maris and Gehrig were the two men who truly exemplified what caliber of class and dignity it takes to be a Yankee, bar none. Whenever able, they were always gracious to their fans and never sparked controversy. Ruth and Mantle, in all their magnificence, had their all-too-human tendencies off the field, DiMag was aloof and became condescending as the years progressed, and Munson could be rather surly to outsiders. They all have their place in history, as well as things to love (or sometimes question) about their characters. Gehrig and Maris may not have been as fascinating from a personal standpoint, but this shared aspect seems to be what (for me, anyway) boosted them up into a class of their own. If some of you Yankee fans disagree with parts of this, keep in mind that the preceding opinions originate from the mind of a lifelong Red Sox fan! |

And I agree with that too. Both Ruth and Mantle were lovable fellows who were only human. What Ruth did for kids is beyond compare to ANY celebrity at ANY time (just my opinion). Unlike many modern-day celebrities adopting little African boys and girls for what only looks like personal gain, Ruth, the superstar with the Peter Pan complex, gave freely of his time, money and heart because it did both him and the children good. It's funny how his misdeeds can be so easily overlooked as a result of the many kindnesses he extended. |

Not off-topic in my book. Many folks on the board get irked by perceived "off-topic" posts or "hijacked" threads. I'm of the contention that, as long as it's interesting, go with it! |

Once again, Jodi, you're spot on. I've always felt DiMaggio was a piss-poor excuse for a human being. |

futhermore, at the end of the movie 61*, the narrator explains that after Maris' death, the current commissioner (forget who it was), combined the records, and Maris had it all by himself, but he never knew the record was all his. |
