Pat, welcome to the forum! And, may I say I love your user name. Show .406 to anybody else in the world, and they look at you with a blank look on their face.
Show .406 to a baseball fanatic, and you get "Teddy bleeping ballgame, summer of '41! That was a year for baseball, wasn't it? DiMaggio getting the MVP? Hitting in 56 straight, God Bless Joltin' Joe, but the Splendid Splinter hit four freakin' oh six!" It's like a secret handshake that only baseball lovers/fanatics know ![]() If there's anything I can help you with, please feel free to shoot me a private message. There's a wealth of information here, and the forum search function and Google will help you unlock the mysteries of the universe (well, at least when it comes to pre-war and vintage baseball cards). But sometimes, just asking another person is the way to go, and I am happy to share any of the knowledge I have gained here. You are among friends! Have fun, and again, welcome aboard! Bill

Thanks everyone for your kind welcomes and secret handshakes!
(...and new screen-savers Leon!) I am really looking forward to Net54, I can feel the passion here already. I'm not sure if this qualifies as passion or insanity, but the youngster in me decided to take a 'side trip' while visiting Southern California a few years back! Running the bases was truly amazing!

Now I know I'm on the right website, it's not just me then!
When I rounded third I was looking towards home fully expecting Joe DiMaggio to greet me with a handshake! Ted's boyhood home is just two blocks away (let's call this one side trip 2.0) I felt like a nervous nine year old as I walked by to snap a photo! |
