Henry Thomas is a man who sets up a table at the Chantilly, VA card show each time. (Next one is July 9-11.) That is where I met him. Henry is the grandson of the Big Train and is a wonderful guy to talk old-time baseball with. He also wrote the book, "Walter Johnson, The Big Train". And he also produced the tapes/CDs from Larry Ritter's "The Glory of Their Times".

I want to promote these CDs. Many of you have the book. If you do not have the CDs, go to amazon.com and buy them ($30 +/- with shipping). This is THE finest baseball item you can get. And I am not going overboard. When you hear Rube Marquard, Sam Crawford, Davy Jones, Smokey Joe Wood, my favorite, Jimmy Austin, and others, it will truly send goosebumps up your spine. I kid you not. Every time I go on a trip, I play these CDs. There is nothing like hearing how it was from the people that were there and in their own voice.

Sincerely,

Cy
