Just curious if anyone received something cool for the holidays (other than Secret Santa)?
My Uncle, who grew up in Memphis, gave me an autographed baseball from the Memphis Chicks from when he was a kid. Harmon Killabrew, Jim Gentile, Dick Donovan, Luis Sparrow, and Smokey Burgess had all signed it.
Needless to say, there was a misty eyed moment. This happens to be my first autographed baseball signed by multiple players. Pretty pumped and it's now sitting in my case with the other autographed baseballs. Pretty awesome.

I didn't receive anything hobby related. I just wanted to say that your uncle sounds like a great guy! That's what family is all about.
Your uncle thinks so highly of you that he was willing to part with a moment of his past. To me .... that is pretty awesome!
Great story ... thanks for sharing!
