My Prize Piece of Baseball Memorabilia
Back in the day ...

founding father of the game. The document was a contract of some
player that was signed by Harry Wright, the manager, circa 1870.
It was written on Cincinnati Red Stocking's letterhead.

Trophies have come to symbolize recognition of a job well done. All sports are competitive and while we emphasize that winning isn't everything, the winning team that worked so hard to achieve that goal should receive accolades.

Lately, I've been receiving a lot of questions referring to the
latest studies and research findings, and one question that I
