National Memorabilia and Photos

[Snapolit1]

For those of us not attending, if you are in Chicago and see Memorabilia that’s super special or that blows you away, please post. Living vicariously is better then not living at all.

I really need to get back to a National. The last one I went to was in 1988.

I think you would set the record for between Nationals!

Maybe so! From about age 14-18, I worked for Ron Durham in NJ. Ron was a show promoter who held shows at the Hasbrouck Heights Sheraton. He used to run a little card shop in NJ as well called the Dugout. Ron had DiMaggio, Rizzuto, Mattingly, Gooden, Billy Martin and others at his shows. Greatest memories of my youth. When Ron got the National in A/C and asked me to work it, I was in heaven!

You didn't at least go to the two in Baltimore in 2010 and 2012 ?

No, it's a dubious record but my last National was in 1986 in Arlington. I plan to make the next Chicago show as it normally comes around my grandson's birthday (which is today) and I can justify the trip. I'd hoped to go this year but my wife had a trip planned.
