Great video, David.
The Philadelphia A's Historical Society (a few miles down the road from me) would have a luncheon every November honoring A's old-timers. Over the years honored guest were
Lou Brissie, Ferris Fain, Eddie Joost, Eddie Robinson, Bobby Shantz, Gus Zernial (and many more).
In 2000, a very special guest was honored....Connie Mack III. Connie got up and talked about his famous Grandfather for about 2 hours. It was fascinating to hear all his stories.
Especially, since it was coming from a member of the Mack family.
Afterwards, I got a chance to converse with Connie for about 20 minutes, and we had a really interesting conversation talking Baseball. Plus, he signed my 1950 A's Program.
I highly recommend (if you haven't already read it) an excellent book...."Connie Mack and the Early Years of Baseball", by Norman Macht.
