To celebrate the second day of Rosh Hashanah, I went to Philadelphia to visit another Hall of Fame with Dr Len. This time it was the Philadelphia Athletics Museum which we entered
and then saw the heroes
and their outfits
along with tickets to Shibe Park
a letter signed by Franklin Roosevelt
some bobble head dolls
and pictures of the 1961 A's
along with signed balls
a memory of Tug McGraw
and Joe Astroth and Bobby Shantz in action.
As we made our way through the memorabilia
we saluted Richie Ashburn
and Jimmie Foxx
Roberto Clemente (not exactly a Philadelphia hero)
a piece of the Phillies 1961 team
a turnstile from Shibe Park
many signed baseballs
uniforms
hats
cards
more uniforms
more uniforms
and photos beginning with Connie Mack
and moving on to Abbott and Costello in Who's on First, ...
some items for sale
a trivia question about curve balls
a salute to Richie Ashburn
and the 1950 Whiz Kids
before I recorded the members of the Philadelphia Athletics Wall of Fame
