OT; Jack Kerouac at the library.

As suggested in a post here long ago;

I took a walk through this massive exhibit of his works at the midtown New York Pub Library this past weekend. Didn't have much time, but snapped a pic of the cards that a young Jack created for his intense fantasy BB game. This guy had an amazing imagination and far too complex for me to analyze.

Kerouac, being from Lowell, I expected his Boston team to be named the Cadilacs or Chryslers... But Ford, c'mon?

The Library also has a card album with a T206 Wagner and many others that appears "Around the beginning of baseball season.", I was shown a digital image of it and I think the librarian was trying to whisper that at one time, a visitor had try to pull the glued card from the scrapbook.

Also, some valuable antique art pieces are on display. More like a museum than a library, I highly recommend a pop-in when in the city, it's just a short walk and culturally lightyears from Times Sq.
