Damn, how I wish I would have kept my childhood glove.<br /><br />And in terms of collectibles, Papa Fuji didn't really throw any in my direction. Although, he was the bread winner in the household. So I guess all of those baseball card packs my Mom would buy me indirectly came from him.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-34111687227220298252012-05-20T06:44:42.037-07:002012-05-20T06:44:42.037-07:00I wasn't born until Dec of 1950, but Cleveland...I wasn't born until Dec of 1950, but Cleveland won the World Series in '48, so during the 1949 season they were heralded as the World Champions.I still have the first real baseball glove my Dad ever bought me.

I have several auto'd items I acquired in person including the 1949 Cleveland program you can see in my blog header. My late Father obtained that, and I had Mr Feller sign it. You can view it here if interested ! <br /><br />http://baseballdad-mytribeblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/tribe-autographica.htmlBASEBALL DADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663247939777653886noreply@blogger.com
