Ironically, both played in the PCL although in different decades.

Through the website we were able to determine that the grandsons lived within a few miles of each other in northern California and were able to swap family and baseball information in their attempts to piece together their grandfathers' baseball history.

What I'd like to add to this conversation is the value in forums such as net54baseball.com; it truly is heartwarming for historical facts, and lore, to be re-told and is valuable to not only families but historians as well.

Even though the prime interest here is cards and memorabilia, when it takes the form of history that helps to complete family stories, the results cannot be measured by dollar value or grading.

My cap's off to those who have assisted Eric in his quest!
I completely agree. This is one of the better reads (on any site) that I've come across recently. Thanks to everyone who contributing this being a heartwarming thread.
