so this will be only my 2nd post to the forums but thought it was a pretty cool story to add to this thread. my new thing is going through peoples attics. i swear they are people that i get permission from. so i was up in my grandparents attic looking through some old boxes seeing what kind of jewels i could find. my uncle collected a lot of Yankee memorabilia but nothing worth snagging for myself again with his permission. then i found a box tucked in the back under a ton of 1960-1980 Yankee magazines. inside the box i found an autographed and personalized picture of Bobby Orr addressed to my uncle. when i asked my grandparents when my uncle met him they couldn't remember. well anyways i framed it and gave it to my uncle for Christmas. he didn't even remember that he had even gotten it. we all did some brain storming and figured out that my uncle had received gotten it while he was in a hospital in Boston being treated for his cerebral palsy which he was born with. i know we all hear about players doing this sort of thing but it means a little more when it was for someone who is so close to you.
