Pretty Interesting to say so!

Buzz Wagner's grandson here. Very weird coincidence that this card surfaced in Missoula, 50 miles from where my grandfather died, and the city where I'm currently living. We've been contacted by the people who are handling this card for more information about our family connection to Honus.

You may also be interested in this documentary I made out of my grandfather's old footage from his childhood in pre-war Japan.



At around the 12 minute mark you'll see some previously unreleased shots of Babe Ruth when my grandfather saw him play in Tokyo.

Cheers!

Josh, that was a great video. Just an amazing insight into his life. His narraration was great; very humorous, and just a thrill to listen to. He reminds me of my grandfather who is 93 and had, until very recently, an amazing memory and loved to tell stories. I videotaped him telling a few stories a couple of years ago.

Thanks so much for making & posting this and I'm very sorry you lost your grandfather.

Josh,

Thanks for sharing the wonderful documentary regarding your grandfather.

He certainly lived an incredible life. I also was surprised to see the close resemblence that your grandfather had with regards to Honas Wagner.

Many thanks,
