My wife had gone to the rest room, and there I sat with my Son and a frosty cold Old Style Beer. When the foul ball came my way, I sort of panicked. The rookie Dad move I made was to immediately stand up with my Son in one hand (left arm) and the beer in the other (right hand). As the ball tracked nearer to me, my fan instincts took over. I tucked my Son in deep to the left arm, switched the beer to my left had, and reached for the ball with my right hand. VIOLA! Ball Caught, baby secure, and beer not spilled. The crowd around me went nuts. My wife, hearing the story after her return from the bathroom............not so happy with me. :D

In my office, there is a picture of Me holding my Son, and my Son curling up with the ball, and the ticket displayed - all in a glass souvenir box. I absolutely love it, and love re-telling that story to my now 15 year Son.


That's awesome! :thumb:

It seems once a month there is a video like this now on ESPN

Upon reflection, I would have to say my most prized possession is my pillow.

The pillow that was issued to me by the United States Navy 29 years ago onboard the USS Concord. It's a super comfortable feather pillow that you just really can't find anymore, at least not for a reasonable price. So I stole it from the ship, kept it all these years, still have it, and still use it, or I should say, I still have and use what's left of it. I doubt if there's much left of the original lining, and probably 15-20% of the feathers are gone, but that's okay, because even with its three additional liners, in all it's tattered, battered, ancient feathery goodness, it's the most comfortable pillow ever. It's outlasted my hair, my ex-wife, everybody that came between her and my current wife, six jobs, nine pets, ten cars and probably 20 moves.

I once left it at a hotel in my hometown, realized I forget when I got back to my house, called the hotel, verified that they hadn't thrown it away, and had my best friend go get it and keep it until the next time I visited, and I was pissed off about it every night when I went to bed without it. I don't think I miss my wife that much when we're apart. In fact, I'm sure of it. My pillow doesn't snore.

That's my pillow, goddammit. Much like my guns, you will have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

The most irreplaceable for me would be the ceremonial Nazi sword my grandfather gave to me.

Football signed by Derrick Thomas and Marcus Allen. The good story is that Marcus almost didn't sign it, because Derrick's name was already there.

My most prized possession has to be my silver Necklace and Cornicello that my grandfather gave me when I was born (First born male of my generation), it has been passed down for quite a few generations now.

Amother of mine is a "chillow" . You've seen those things on late might infomercials etc. well I'm always always hot. Evenin winter. My wife got me a tempurpedic pillows, and now I have the chillow lol.

That shit works. Anyone who is hot when the sleep, in the head or neck area, I recommend it.

Standard answer, pictures... Also have some stuff removed from Iraqis in Desert Storm. Also, I'm kind of partial to the softball equipment I've accumulated. My gloves and bats are somewhat important and while easily replaceable, it takes time to break them in and get used to their feel. Finally, my tools are how I put food on the table. Mess with them and we'll have problems. My best money-maker is the 97 F-350 7.3 I've owned for 8 years. That's probably about it.

That seems very unsanitary. Do you wash it often?
