Ted, my life connection with this set was with Babe Herman. In 1946 or 47 the Oakland Acorns were spring training in the City of San Fernando. Babe and I shook hands. I was in Little League at the time and remember it because his hand was larger than my 1st basemans glove. Casey Stengal was the Acorn's manager at that time and Mr. Herman was a coach.
My Dad who was in the Trucking Business had the contract to move the A's equipment from Oakland to SF and I helped unload the truck at the Ball Park. That is where I met him. I was 11 years old.
