What she's really going to love is you digging a pentagonal hole in the living room floor.

Greg - when she got home and saw it...she loved it! She wants it to either stay on the coffee table, or to display it somewhere in the living room

Mark - that is, obviously, another great Gehrig image. Congratulations on the pick up. I'm not finding a 'Lou Gehrig Photo' section in the link area you have - if there isn't one there should be

Scott,
Thanks.
Here is the section where the Gehrig photos reside.

BTW, I had no idea home plate was that big. Pretty cool item.

Thanks Mark. Yeah, my only experience with home plates was installing them in softball fields, and they weren't this big. The box was huge and heavy as hell - the weight comes from an extra 2 inches below the dirt line, honeycomb filled with heavy chunks of dirt.

I highly recommend these - one of the coolest things I've ever picked up. Wish I had one from the Astrodome.

Found this awesome piece after it being missing for a year and a half. After my temporary move, it surfaced, and will be for sale soon. Not in best shape, esp back, but super nice.

1925 Christy Walsh Syndicate calendar page featuring Babe Ruth and Cobb. Thanks Al!

Jeff,
Great calendar. It reminded me of something I forgot to post along the same lines.

1928 Letter from the Christy Walsh Syndicate. Letter is to the Yankees asking to borrow Babe Ruth's white uniform. At the bottom are the printed autographs of all his clients. I also got the envelope it was sent in.
