You can go visit it over at Lakefront Brewery. They used to actually let you go down the slide, but they can't anymore for insurance reasons. Freakin' lawyers.

Yes, I saw it on the tour when I was a senior at MU in 2003. I'll have to settle for my County Stadium brick instead.

The puck from the U.S. hockey team winning goal against the Russians at the 1980 Winter Olympics, Feb. 22, 1980.

Yeah...that's a really good one. I wasn't even really thinking about the Olympics when I created the thread. That opens up a whole bunch of new options that I hadn't thought about.
It would be hard to pass up Jesse Owens' 100m gold medal from the Berlin Games. That might be the greatest piece of sports memorabilia ever.

That was the '88 World Series between the Dodgers and A's. I am referring to the '84 World Series. Tigers v Padres.

Lord Stanley's Cup.
Man, dat's gross, ai na?

Bill Hall's original mother's day pink home run bat (ignoring that the actual owner of the bat might be just a little more deserving - https://chriszantowauthor.com/2016/05/05/milwaukee-brewers-history-bill-halls-pink-bat-home-run-on-mothers-day/ (https://chriszantowauthor.com/2016/05/05/milwaukee-brewers-history-bill-halls-pink-bat-home-run-on-mothers-day/))

In the 1980s, Cubbie fans started throwing back home-run baseballs hit by opposing batters. The games were on national TV thanks to WGN and the growth of cable, and by the middle of the decade, fans of other teams started doing it, too. I always thought it was stupid, and I still do to this day, but I digress ...
In 1988, I was at a game at the Metrodome between the Yankees and Twins. Claudell Washington steps up to the plate for the Yankees and launches a long HR over the RF baggy and into the seats. Somebody got the ball, and the fans around him started taunting him: "Throw it back! Throw it back!" So the moron throws it back.
Almost the instant the ball hits the astroturf, PA announcer Bob Casey says, "That was the 10,000th home run in New York Yankees history!"
So because of peer pressure and/or wanting to be "cool" like Cubbie fans, that jamoke threw back a little piece of baseball history!
Don't throw back home-run baseballs, people! Be a leader, not a sheeple!!
We now go back to our regularly scheduled programming ...
I'd want to own Bryon Russell's jock - oh wait - Jordan already owns it!
