Hank, my favorite writing about your grandfather was this:

http://cwcfamily.org/wj/cc0.htm

When I read this, it really changed everything about my collecting perspective. You see, you are writing about my home, where my family has lived since my grandparents moved here. I know exactly where many of the locations are where your grandfather lived, went to school, etc. I always knew him as "the Weiser Wonder." Reading this, I could picture him playing back then, how hard it would have been just to travel to games (I often travel the surface streets to avoid freeway rush hours, I can't imagine before they had paved roads and modern cars trying to get from Carbon Canyon to Huntington Beach for a game!). It really made me appreciate the rich baseball history right here in my home. Thanks for all your effort in writing these stories, and bringing some light into my vision of my own "ol' stompin' grounds." If you have any images from when your family lived here in Southern California, I would love to see them.
