A couple of weeks ago I ordered my birthday presents. Since my wife and kids really have no idea what to get me for gifts, I order things and they wrap them up and give them to me.
This year I took advantage of a Steiner Sports sale. I bought four signed 8x10 pictures.
First, I got a nice signed picture of Ralph Kiner sliding.
Next, I got a picture of a Jim Bunning perfect game.
I also got a cool picture of Duke Snider climbing the wall to make a catch.
Lastly, I got a dual-signed picture of Bobby Thomson and Ralph Branca of Thomson's pennant-winning home run (with Branca being the losing pitcher). Notice Jackie Robinson watching the action. Trivia question: Who was on deck, ready to bat after Thomson?

A young rookie named Willie Mays was left waiting in the on-deck circle after that homerun was hit.
That's right! I didn't know that until I read the recent Willie Mays biography.
