I also remember her to be rather tall and slender, so my assumption that the individual who uttered such nonsense was enormous was "off-base", to get us back to America's national pastime.

Yes, so back to our niche of the woods, that Honus Wagner cabinet is simply stunning. A centerpiece, to be sure.

Let's all have a peaceful day in the turbulent USA, and pray someone invents a kill switch for "the squad"!
