How deep is my love of real books, baseball history and nostalgia?

December 9, 2023 5:00 am

Fancy the past?

Oh, the memories that live on this table at the Syracuse Mets Garage Sale 2023.

Somehow, someway, somebody at the Syracuse Triple A baseball organization collected this or that baseball statistical tome and stored it away in a desk or shelf.

If survived personnel and parent team changes through the years and decades.

And every late fall it gets take back out of the cardboard box, put back on a table, and hopefully gazed at by a baseball fan or two.

All the stats can be found with a well-thought search online, yeah.

But the memories imagined looking through the pages …

Sounds good but I have my own plastic bins in my basement already.

  1. I probably would buy them all, skim through them to jog forth some great memories, and then “recirculate” them for someone else to do the same.

  3. We all have those bins of priceless things. Worthless to anyone but ourselves.
    If we dared put them out for display, we would have a sign: Do Not Touch!

    1. Somebody else will throw my priceless stuff away after I’m gone, is the way these things work, I’m guessing, ladysighs.
