Posted By: <b>Greg Theberge</b><p>I'm not sure if this flew under the radar, closing at three thirty on a Monday, but was somewhat surprised to pick up this neat piece:<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140213106803&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=004" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140213106803&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=004</a><br /><br />Of course, I bought this because of the Hanley Ale bulldog, but just how the hell am I going to get this one past my wife? Good Lord, a Yankee item in my house!?!?. Guess what side's going to be displayed...<br /><br />At least it went cheap.<br /><br />Greg

Posted By: <b>scgaynor</b><p>That was cheap! At least tell your wife that if it were Ted Williams it would have been like 10X more expensive.<br /><br />Scott

Posted By: <b>Mike H</b><p>That is AWESOME Greg! What is the size? I love Dimaggio and that image is as cool as they come.<br /><br />I can't believe you would trick your wife like that!!! To ease your pain and the guilt which will gnaw at you the rest of your days, I (being a good guy) will purchase it from you. Just send me the details.

Posted By: <b>Greg Theberge</b><p>Hey guys,<br /><br />This should be a somewhat interesting piece when I get it. I really got it for the Hanley ad, sad as that may sound. It's the only non-Red Sox-Braves-Providence Grays baseball item in the beer collection. Things are just going downhill when you ad a Yankees piece <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> <br /><br />By the way... if you ever want to see the beer collection, I just completed our website. It's now online at:<br /><br />www.rhodeislandbreweryhistory.com<br /><br />There's a few baseball things in there. Eventually, I'm going to incorporate something on the Sox. I just missed a couple of Sox Narragansett schedules that went for silly money. I've seen these things for years. Of course, when I finally start thinking of adding them to the collection....<br /><br />Speaking of the Sox.....spring training isn't looking too attractive right now.<br /><br />Greg

Posted By: <b>Brock G.</b><p>Greg,<br />I just checked out your new website and really enjoyed looking at your impressive collection. Although I dont collect beer/brewery related memorabilia I do have an interest in it, as I myself am a third generation brewery worker.

Posted By: <b>Brock G.</b><p>Greg,<br />I work at the Anheuser Busch brewery in Jacksonville Fl. I currently work there part time while in school. My older brother and father work there as well, and my grandfather retired from AB about 10 years ago. I dont have to tell you what our dinner table conversations revolve around.

Had a couple just last Saturday as a matter of fact.<br /><br />If your family wants to adopt a 46 year old, I'll send you the paperwork <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Greg

Posted By: <b>Fred Y</b><p>Hi Greg--<br /><br />Just looked over your website. Could find no reference to Hope beer. I know it wasn't brewed in RI, but they did have their warehouse here and their beer was intended to be brewed here but just never happened. <br /><br /><br />I live in Cumberland and ran a bar downtown Prov for 10 yrs--Hope's Bar on Washington St---and yes, we carried Hope beer on tap & in bottles!

Posted By: <b>Greg Theberge</b><p>Hi Fred,<br /><br />If you ever want to see the collection, let me know.<br /><br />Thanks for thinking of Hope. I specifically did not put it in there because I never really felt it was a Rhode Island beer as it was never brewed here. Neither was the Greater Providence <br />Beer Company that never did get off the ground about ten years back. Matter of fact, this new Narragansett beer isn't a Rhode Island beer either, but I hear there are plans to bring it back to Rhode Island so maybe some day it will be. <br /><br />All the best,<br />Greg
