My Suggestion.
I would introduce him to movies and clips and documentaries like Burn's baseball and show him cards of the players as they are mentioned . Use cool names like "The Georgia Peach" and terms like "Merkle's Boner" "Sultan of swat" watch "sandlot with him" and field of dreams and try very very hard to take him to ballgames..I remember in the fifties meeting Al Kaline I was in awe of my hero! Thats the kind of stuff it takes....oh and let him have an active say in what you buy and why. Just My Opinion. dave
