It was the last day before I blast off to Sweden for my EuroBall VII Adventure, so what better way to spend the day, but with family.
First stop was with son Michael at the Skirball Cultural Center and Museum to see two interesting exhibits about baseball.
Mike at the Entrance
There were lots of great things to see that advanced the concept that baseball has been a vehicle for immigrants from many nations to assimilate into American culture.
Hank Greenberg
The Skirball Museum primarily focuses on Jewish Culture so Greenberg was a natural for this exhibit.
Ben Sakoguchi's "Orange Crate" Art
is amazingly good and interesting
The old Boston Braves Pitching Duo
I remember this game from 1959
Mike, a Civil War Re-Enactor,
liked this one
Fun in Pre-WWII days
You had to be there
Moe Berg was a MLB catcher and
a WWII spy for the USA
PC?
PC?
Joe Garagiola?
Sign of the Times
Jackie Robinson, The Early Years
Jackie Robinson, The Last Year
Love those 70s!
Mike liked this one too!
Back from the Skirball, we spent the rest of the afternoon just hanging out with Mike, Vanessa and the grandkids.
As always, Mike who is a Master Packer, helped me load up my suitcase for the trip to Upplands Väsby, Sweden via Stockholm.
Tack så mycket, Mike!
Jacob was as funny as ever
Mary wanted to talk
It was a really good day!
Reading Is FUNdamental
WOW!
Another interesting historical novel from Max Allan Collins, this time about the death of Marilyn Monroe.
Damn the Kennedy brothers and I'm not crazy about Joe DiMaggio any more either.
