Following up on Chick's fantastic thread...what sports memorabilia would you own?

Level of difficulty: No Marquette items (to prevent everyone from saying Al's national championship ring).

I want the Pine Tar Bat.

I do own my 1977 NCAA Champs sweat shirt, but I can't fit into it any more. It shrunk.

I changed my mind - I want a peach basket from the Springfield, MA YMCA.

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.

I think it was off of Dennis Eckersly.

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.

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.

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!
