A collecting theory: the wife test

[JollyElm]

Here's hoping girlfriends count. I was shocked that she knew 'The Babe,' 'The Mick' and 'The Say Hey Kid' so readily:

1. Joe DiMaggio..."Because of Marilyn. Remember, we saw the church I think they were married at. And we took pics of the plaque outside the place he was born in Martinez."
2. Willie Mays
3. Jose Canseco..."He went out with Madonna."
(Are we sensing a theme?)
4. A-Rod..."He's banging J-Lo."
5. "That Band Aid guy"...referring to my obsession with the 1973 Al Kaline error card.
6. "The steroid guy, the one who got all big and played out here. Barry...Pond or something?"
7. Mickey Mantle
8. Babe Ruth
8. "There's someone else named Willie, too, right?"...referring to the time we took pictures at McCovey Cove, and the fact that 'Stretch' had a restaurant named after him in these parts.

Bummed that there wasn't a single mention of Reg-gie. I gotta do better with her in 2023.
