George, that is awesome. Thanks for the update with pictures and everything. Ya'll look like you had a great time!!
I was hoping to get Buck back to go to the National and join the Net54baseball dinner again this year. He had such a good time on the podium with the speakers last year I thought he would want to do it again. Last year he had his own stand on top of one of the cases at our table for the whole show, other than at the Dinner. A lot of people got to see him for the first time. LMK if he is spoken for, for the time of the National, which is Wed July 31 through August 4th....
I would need him at least a day before that. Thanks again for taking care of him.

And Sean, I think Buck still has some legs .......but certainly it would be only fitting if you ended up with him for a while near the end....

Although, it is yours George, so of course you have final say....and maybe he should eventually rest in your possession since you bought him .

I think he should definitely keep going. He can travel forever. I only got him back so I could bring him to this game... and to see the log book.

He is not yet spoken for, Leon, PM me an offer and your address and I'll get him in the mail. It would be great to get him back to the National.

At the Bob Feller Museum in Van Meter, Iowa.



With the last bat Babe Ruth ever held, which happened to be Feller's bat. Babe used it as a crutch to help him out on the field as he made his final public appearance before his death (according to the museum guy).



He is now on his way to Leon's. If all goes well he'll be making new friends and meeting old ones at The National next weekend.
