I’ll add that I met Jim Kaat some years ago in Philadelphia, I think. He couldn’t have been nicer.

The link on the memorabilia side seems to be working fine, while the one on the card side is kaput. God, I hate this tech stuff, why doesn't the shit just work!

Well Hank, thanks for directing me to the memorabilia side. Great watch and obviously a priceless memory and experience for you. I didn’t know that Calvin Griffith was the batboy. Makes sense. I can’t help but think that if he was still the team’s owner, he would have made you pay your own way up to Minneapolis.

Good one, Ken!

That would have made it a non-starter! I had to think whether I really wanted to help them claim the history they stole along with my team, but I'm glad I went. They were all "Minnesota Nice," as you see on signs everywhere, and I did feel some healing for my 65 year PTSD from when they took off from D.C.
