Amazing piece with true historical significance! That belongs in a museum. You have the Real Roy Hobbs father's glove. It doesn't have a lightening bolt on it does it?

Thanks Mike - I read your above post right after posting a pic of this in the pre-rookie thread. I don't have the room in my place to display anything really, but if I ever get a 'man-cave', this will be one of the centerpieces.
