Baseball Hall of Fame, part 2
I took another look at the Baseball Hall of Fame catalog. Sometimes, it has stuff I actually consider buying. Not true, this time around.
The latest edition is great if you love the Yankees, Cubs, Red Sox, or Brooklyn Dodgers. I like the Mets. I also like the Blue Jays. Basically, the catalog treats these teams as if they don't exist.
I laughed when I saw T-shirts commemorating the game's most historic parks: Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, and Wrigley Field. Currently, one of the shirts reads "Property of Yankee Stadium Athletic Dept.". In a few years, will those same shirts say "Property of the NEW Yankee Stadium Athletic Dept."? What a joke!
