19th Century Bat on Ebay...

Posted By: barrysloate

Gary and I are friends and he has been to my house. He is extremely nice and easygoing, and his museum is a wonderful thing (I haven't seen it in person, only pictures). He loves to have schools bring kids to it so he can walk them through and teach them about the history of sports.

There are many collectors who have thought about building a museum for their collections and weren't able. Even Barry Halper tried and never got it off the ground. Gary was able to do it.

The Smithsonian book shows many fine pieces from his collection but it doesn't show the museum itself. That is a shortcoming, I think.
