Thank you both. I am super excited to get it and very appreciative to the person who sold it to me for making it available.

Picked up an extremely rare movie poster and vhs of the movie King Kung Fu. It was filmed in Wichita in the 1974-1976 time frame but wasn’t released until 1987. This movie is pretty obscure if you could imagine so acquiring the tape let alone the poster was quite the score for me. So what does this have to do with baseball you might ask? Well there’s about a 3 minute scene where the Gorilla fights the minor league Wichita Aeros baseball team. There’s a baseball guy on the poster and tape as well. A recent DVD release of this movie is available if someone was interested in watching it. To watch the baseball portion google King Kung Fu baseball.

Does the girl in King Kung Fu’s palm have a big part(s)?

Got a box of 10 jerseys in the mail today. These 2 go great with my team autographed bat.

I'm excited about picking up the game used pitching rubber from the 2001 World Series. Regardless of one's politics, I think it is a reminder that we could all be united, even if for a moment.

Hugely historic piece! Congrats!

BTW, I went to Game 1 of the 2001 World Series @ AZ.
When I parked my rental car high up in the open parking structure adjacent to what was then known as Bank One Ballpark (The Bob). I happened to glance out the opening in front of my car. I quickly noticed that there were snipers on all of the rooftops surrounding the ballpark, which sent a shiver down my spine and had me questioning whether it was actually safe to be at this game in light of 9/11...

Ironically the seats directly behind us where we had our tickets were occupied by about a dozen NYFD First Responders that were in attendance and were being honored. They were being interviewed prior to the game and I got to listen firsthand to the interview.

Memories that I will not soon forget in my lifetime...

Thanks, Scott. That was a surreal time for sure. I had a similar thoughts at college football and NFL games that fall.
