How awesome would it be to go see a baseball movie with a Hall of Famer? Particularly one that has guys he knew in it. Great story.

A few more HOFers with my son.
Now the kid works for ESPN, co hosts an ESPN podcast, writes for the ESPN NY blog, is one of the stat gurus there, and is the in house "Mets historian" at the network. Wonder where he got his baseball interest from . And he also has thousands of twitter followers.
And he also was sitting next to me at the Robin Ventura grand slam single game .
He also was sitting next to me at Game 5 of the 2000 WS .

Those pictures are PRICELESS Richard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had one of the first SX-70's Poloroid when I was a kid. I would take players pictures on the field (Dodger Stadium 1974-5) and on Sundays when they set up for autographs on every level. Many times the players would want to see them develop before their eyes. (Andy Messerschmidt and Garvey). They are all in a photo album somewhere. I have to look through them and post them sometime.

I remember those autograph Sundays at Dodger stadium. You'd get in line and hope it went quick so that you could run to the next one...or bypass it if it was a coach so that you could find a player. I was so mad when I got Walt Alston and Jim Gilliam, that is until I grew up and realized they were part of the 55 Dodgers.

Two very solid pieces for a collection today!
