You’re right about the knife Al. You couldn’t sell that today at a ballpark. Do you agree that the souvenir business was pretty much destroyed in 1969 when MLB licensed their products? Pins and pennants after that suck.

Baseball's appeal isn't complicated or confusing. It's about the beauty of the game; it's about heroes and family and friends; it's about being part of something larger than yourself, about tradition---receiving it and passing it; and it's about holding on to a bit of your childhood.
