That was great! The old motion picture of the Big Train was nice to see as well. Thank You Joe

Thank You, Hank - that was very enjoyable.

It was cool to hear two players mentioned that have connections local to me:


Cliff Blankenship, the injured catcher send to sign Milan and ultimately got Walter too, was the first Major Leaguer born here in Columbus.

Hank Gowdy, who famously stepped on his mask, has a ball-field on Fort Benning named after him.




Though I read your wonderful book cover-to-cover, I'm sure I'll read it again someday and enjoy it againn.

Here's what I call my 'Double-Walter' which Leon used to own:

1923 WG7 Walter Mails Game- WALTER JOHNSON SGC 80.jpg

Thanks, Robbie, and what an amazing card. Leon probably pulled it directly from the card game box! What's the "double-Walter" all about?

Walter Mails Game Card of Walter Johnson

I also have the Walter Mails Game Card of Walter Mails (another 'double-Walter') but that seems almost redundant. LOL
