FRIENDS OF THE BABE RUTH LEGACY
This is my chance to say thank you to the people who have unselfishly helped me thru the years. They have given me the gift of my grandfather and have jumped on the Babe ride and I will be forever grateful!

I first met him when he wrote about what my grandfather actually died from. Not throat cancer. We have become great friends since. I think there is a book in the future!

Met John when he cleaned my grandfathers Monument at Gates of Heaven Cemetary. He thought "Babe should sparkle in death as he did in life." Since then he has worked on Babe getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The Legacy thnaks John & Kathy for powerwashing my grandfathers stone at the Gates Of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne NY. He cleaned all the mold off and it sparkled. John's company is Clean County Power Washers. www.cleancounty.com

Stan (the Dancing Man) Grauso and his son Alex
Stan gave me the greatest gift. He knew my grandfather and told me wonderful things. When you did a favor for Babe, he did two for you. He never minded being bothered by fans when he ate, Stan was! He even said spending time with me, he felt was like spending time with Babe. Yes it was a OMG moment for me!
The Town of Lewisburg, PA
Betty Cook has had us as part of their famous 4th of July Parade(always held on weekend before the 4th) for the past 5 years. The town has opened their arms to us and made us feel at home. If you find yourself around Lewisburg, stop in, you will not be sorry! It is a town of good people.

We were lucky enough to be with the women of (AAGPBL)All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. They were great! In fact one of the women, Ruth Kramer Hartman, who is not pictured told me she hung with Babe and that I scrinched my face up when I talk just like he did? Yep, OMG moment.

Hauls of Shame
Welcome to Hauls of Shame
This site is dedicated to investigative reporting related to the soon-to-be published book, Hauls of Shame. While the book deals with the wide ranging problems of fraud and corruption in the baseball collectibles and auction industries, its primary focus is on the mysteries of the considerable thefts of rare, historical baseball artifacts from the collections of the New York Public Library, Boston Public Library and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Hauls of Shame publishes breaking news, book excerpts, original essays and interviews with historians and those familiar with the investigations that have spurred earnest recovery efforts by the FBI, individual collectors and institutions. We offer an educational resource for the baseball collecting and research communities as the investigations yield evidence of items both suspected or confirmed as missing from the research archives of: NYPL's "Spalding Baseball Collection;" BPL's "McGreevey Baseball Picture Collection;" and the HOF's "August Herrmann Papers Collection."
Andy and I had the priviledge of helping the P4 Foundation!
This is a cause my grandfather would gladly support
