3 World Series Baseballs

[herbc]

Back in the Y2K....the turn of the century, after the world didn't end; I frequently went shopping at a very nice Men's store in New York City, called Moe Ginsburg. The store was housed in an office building. Each floor had different items....suits, shirts, shoes, coats...etc, everything a man would need in one building.

Your size was no problem, they had it all. The salesmen knew the business. They remembered your name, your size, your style, and would bring to your attention items that arrived that they knew was right for you.

The building did not look like an department store, it was literally an office building with a security guard at a desk in the lobby. You had to know where you were going to find it. You can't find Men's stores like this anymore....a thing of the past....long gone.

Today I was digging in my closet, and pulled out a shopping bag. The bag had a set of baseballs; given to me by the store for being a loyal customer. My salesman said he had something for me as I was about to checkout. I gladly accepted my gift.

I don't think the company that issued the COA's exists anymore. Yea I know....all of this for 3 lousy balls. :o Enjoy!

Service like that is indeed rare these days. We had a store like that here, it closed in the late 80's. I liked going there as a little kid in the early 70's because they had a life size fiberglass Palomino horse inside the store.

If you are parting with them I still need a 96 WS ball for my Wade Boggs collection. LMK
