Anyone ever go to findagrave.com to find an athletes resting place?

    That's quite the grave marker. I looked for Art Ross, but to no avail. I did find this one, though, which is as tacky as one would hope for it to be:

    I checked out Ty Cobbs, and ran across this statement in his bio:

    "Tys' best friends in the sport was none other than Christy Mathewson! Ty loved and admired "Big Six", visiting with him whenever he got the chance. He even went out of his way to serve with him in the Chemical Warfare Unit (also known as the Gas and Flame Division) during World War I. When Mathewson died in 1925, it was said that Cobb broke down in tears."

    Wow...never knew that about him.

    I haven't gone to a website, but have been to Babe Ruth's grave in Gates of Heaven Cemetary in Valhalla NY. It's about 30 minutes north of NYC. Swing it if you can.
    Proud of my 16x20 autographed and framed collection - all signed in person. Not big on modern - I'm stuck in the past!
