Cool story God bless your dad
I had a signed pic and long letter from Joe DiMaggio when he was skipper of the As and Vida Blue and Catfish and Rollie ....what a bullpen!
It was several pages with Joe extolling effort and talent....I was a pitcher
Little league then.....the Pony etc
Anyhow I got divorced and when I got my truck of stuff back from her and my new husband in law many things were missing like old medieval paintings and charts ans a Navajo rug from the 20s
And I opened my scrapbook and there on the page where the letter and autograph pic it was blank torn out
My girls later told me they saw it in my husband in laws office along with my charts and 1400s nautical paintings
I owned ships once....
Anyhow...
Life.
He also caught for Satchel Paige too.
