Cool ticket Scott, Spahn was one tough hombre. I remember reading that he was asked how many wins he thought his military service cost him. He said none. He said he was a weak and frightened pitcher prior to the battle of the Bulge. He said that experience put things in perspective for him and major league hitters no longer scared or poised a threat to him. I recognize that green background did you get that one from Lenny?

Thanks Mike! I had never heard that Spahn quote before, and it really does put life in perspective.
The ticket is, in fact, a Lenny purchase. Excellent eye, my friend.
Happy holidays!
