Stop in for a cup of coffee
Bought a cool baseball card on bid last night. This is a 1953 Bowman with L-R Yogi Berra, Hank Bauer, and a young Mickey Mantle. This 71-year-old card because of its popularity with kids at the time is difficult to find in good shape without damage or creases. Hank Bauer 3X All-Star and 1998 Baseball Hall of Famer retired to the Kansas City area after his career owned and operated a neighborhood liquor store where Cheryl grew up. She remembers going into the store with her mom as a kid. Hank would give candy to all the kids and knew everyone by name. She remembers her mom told her he was a famous baseball player but never really understood until years later. We recently bought an autographed baseball he signed and display this card with it.
