baseball memorabilia


My Grandpa and I had a special baseball connection. When I was a little girl he took me to baseball games, just him and I. We would spend the day in the warm sun, cheering and eating all kinds of junk food. My Grandpa started my collection of baseball memorabilia with these outings. I still have my caps, an old patch that never actually got sewed on anything, a mitt and a yellowed decal still on the original backing. 

My Grandpa was an avid baseball fan and he played the game during his college years. He was even scouted for the minors but was not able to make that move because of the war. He got drafted. He never lost his love of the game and had quite the collection of baseball memorabilia.

When my Grandpa passed away I was lucky to receive all his baseball memorabilia. I have put his items together with some of the things from my childhood into one of those deep set glass frames. It looks really neat on my den wall and whenever I pass it, I warmly think of my grandpa!
