In 1970 at age seven my father took me to see my first game at Fenway. Needless to say I was hooked. When people ask me how long I have been collecting I always show them this picture of me with the pennant and pins that remain in my collection. He bought me those items that day and I will cherish them always. The fact that I managed to hold onto them for 41 years speaks volumes of the impact that my father and that day had on me. The other is a Fisk a payroll check. I realized early in life that my own meager baseball talents would never generate such a check with my own name on it.

Mike- Many of the things I collect, such as souvenir pins and pennants, are related to the fan and their cherished memories of a trip to the ballpark. I think it is great that you have a picture holding that pennant. I am sure you can't put a value on that.
