Default One that got away

Posted By: zach

This one never really got away because I never had a chance at it but when my Dad was a kid he would go over to his grandfathers house and listen to his stories about Ruth and Johnson and about how he saw them play. Up some where in a closet was a stack of baseball cards with a rubber band around them the whole 1915 sporting news set. When my great grandfather died my dad went back to the house and they were gone....it's a shame because he remembers them as beening mint like a pack of fresh playing cards and he remembers seeing all the stars like Ruth and Cobb.
