"In 1978, he was on a Little League team in Willoughby. That year, during the season’s final game, he hit two home runs and his team won. His parents recorded him on their 8-millimeter camera as he was mobbed by other players in celebration."

I wonder if their film reveals the culprit of this heinous crime. Call the cold case squad!!

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Default Glove

I think I’ll go down to the basement, grab my glove, and give the pocket a few pounds with my fist.

awesome...serendipity! as I've always said, minus descendants, our family/personal photographic history end up in a box at a flea market, as do our personal effects if they're on no real monetary value, so it's great to hear stories where items are reunited with their original owners or family.

it's what I continually refer to as DSL: dumb shit luck, being in the right place at the right time, with the greatest possible outcome.

thanks to the OP for posting.
