I hadn't heard from Henry for almost a year and I hadn't received a Christmas card, so I feared the worst. But just after Christmas I received a note that said he was in a rehab facility and was hoping to come home soon. I packed up the pennant and sent it to him along with some information about it, figuring he deserved to finally own basically the only collectible ever made of him. As luck would have it, it arrived the day after he got home.

He called me that day and thanked me for the gift. Then he said, "I am so glad to have you as a friend."

Those ten words officially made this pennant the most valuable collectible I ever owned. He lives only about 20 minutes from the Chicago National site, so I am hoping to finally meet my friend this summer. Maybe even play a round of golf with him!

Awesome!
