Because when Maris hit 61, the Mick only hit a lowly 54....he was obviously a sentimental favorite.

In 1887, the baseball rules changed to 5 balls and 4 strikes (the numbers were higher in prior years).

Perhaps Net54 was created as a network of collectors who focused their collections on pre-war or 19th century cards, specifically N172 Old Judges that date to 1887.

Dude! We are not supposed to talk about that. You'd better look out your window. The car that just pulled up is the MIB.

This board was previously hosted on Network54.com, which I believe was this boards second incarnation. I first posted there in early 2003.
