Loved reading your story Doug and very happy you found it. I’ve had things go missing and never found, so I know the feeling.
What was you first thought when you rediscovered it?

I yelled "Aaaahhhh!!!" when I saw the box, scaring my parents in the other room.
As I reached for it, and pulled it to me, I turned into a 6 year old hoping that Santa brought me what I asked for, and not something his elves had too much of. When I opened the box and saw the ball for the first time in 23 year I was swept over by supreme giddy happiness similar to that felt by 16 year old girls who get to touch the ends of their favorite teen-idol singer's shirt as he passes by... or the screaming girls outside the Beatles limo in the early / mid 60s). |

Just amazing Doug. Glad you were reunited and that your Dad is around to see it!!!
My sad story was the Day they Retired Jackie, Campy and Sandy's number at Dodger Stadium 1972. I sat right next to CASEY STENGEL. My grandfather told me who he was. When he found out my name was "Charles" he signed my program 4-times from Charles Casey Stengel to Charles and to Chuck from Chuck Casey Stengel...on & on and on. ![]() I kept it away from my other signed programs and finally lost it around 2000 or so. I too look for it all the time through my old programs, ticket stubs and from time to time on e-bay. I hopeI am reunited with it before I die. So glad for you. You deserve it. |

Great story sir! A fun read (the El Camino bit brought back some memories, too) and so happy for you that the ball turned up.
