My favorite item from coaches corner.


They did some more research on the history. Apparently this picture was at the center of controversy even in Biblical Times.

Research has shown that when Judas was accused of betrayal, He claimed the 30 pieces of silver came from some slightly heavy set guy with a Yankees cap on. The guy was standing outside the restaurant when they all came out after eating supper. Most signed the picture form without pause, Judas resisted. The guy then offered him the silver to sign it, which he accepted.
As you can imagine, the man couldn't be found to prove the story, so Judas took the blame for betraying Jesus.

So we have the first recorded team photo, thefirst recorded autograph hound, and the first time a celebrity signed for a fee.

Pretty significant picture, if you ask me.
