But when I got close and saw it was something he actually wore, I was awed. The 'worn' spot where he would tip it to citizens....wow.

It's such an iconic object that it just stopped me in my tracks (so to speak). I honestly never gave any thought to whether there were any still in existence, and then I was further surprised to find that there are only three remaining.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-228485800713263822016-06-25T01:30:56.340-05:002016-06-25T01:30:56.340-05:00Nice trip and good timing with those cards at Comi...Nice trip and good timing with those cards at Comiskey (I don't think I'll ever like ballparks being called Cellular or Corporate whatever even if they're new versions of classic ballparks)...Steve at 1975BaseballCards.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08091628519330650525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-50141436709018738312016-06-24T18:18:20.215-05:002016-06-24T18:18:20.215-05:00Next trip we plan to do Hoover and a game in Milwa...Next trip we plan to do Hoover and a game in Milwaukee.

That's free and interesting. <br /><br />Cubs' fans rip Comiskey, but the fact that you can get out of the parking lot in 10 min or so beats the snot out of what they call parking up north. Plus the park isn't falling apart, and knows what it's like to have a world champion call it home. <br /><br />Surprised you didn't hit the Hoover museum.<br /><br />http://www.hoover.archives.gov/<br /><br />Granted, it's about 3.5 hours west of Chicago. One day I'll stop by that.JediJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261262040532716901noreply@blogger.com
