You're right it doesn't matter how long you have been here before you can make suggestions, but it's bad form at the very least to walk into somebody's house and ask if they have ever thought about rearranging the furniture, then being offended when they say they like it they way it is.

There are photo threads in the memorabilia section, just as there are pin threads and pennant threads, one of the pennant threads is approaching TWO MILLION views, yet neither pins not pennants have their own section.

We could have separate sections for every individual thing that we collect, but most of us think things work pretty well as they are, and occasionally changes are made.

You sound more threatened by the past than Leon is stuck in it, if searching the forum for your interests is too complicated for you, then take a deep breath, relax, and dive in, I'm confident that you will enjoy your time here.

Take care,
Doug


PS - that Aaron ball is pretty cool, but I will need more convincing that Guy Morton was only in camp (and happened to play) for one day. I'm not saying it didn't happen that way, I'm just saying I need more info. Either way it's a neat ball.

PPS - there are people on here who have been researching specific thing for years if not decades, so while I appreciate the time and effort you put into researching that ball, two weeks isn't a time frame that I would acknowledge as "relentless".

PPS - welcome again, and I look forward to seeing more of your finds and conversing about the stuff that interests all of us.

PPPS - please don't take my attempts at constructive criticism the wrong way, I tend to be pretty blunt with my thoughts, while meaning no ill will (unless you're a Giants fan, hahahaha. (Sorry Rob, I had to go there)

Hi Doug appreciate your response and I can see your point. Thanks for the welcome and I hope to gain alot more knowledge on here and see all the cool things people collect.

About the Braves/Red Sox ball. I was able to pull up articles/rosters on all the spring training games that the Braves faced the Red Sox. There was only 1 game in Florida (March 10th) where Ben Flowers and Guy Morton were on the roster and played in the game. Both were quickly sent down to the minors. Guy Morton, who was invited by the red sox to sprint training in Florida, confirmed by his daughter never went to any other cities with the red sox as he had a ankle injury and was sent down to the minors in North Carolina until September when the red sox called him back up. He played 1 single game for the red sox and his career was over in the majors.
