you two utes are good eggs. Glad I got to know you. Great conversation. My dad would come from working on his hand and knees as a cement mason and play catch with me. He also managed my early little league teams. Baseball was always special in our house but Sunday's were reserved for Dodger Stadium with Grandpa. What I wouldn't give to go back in time. My dad's first job was on the construction of Dodger Stadium, so it's always been a special place for me. I have passed down my love for the game and history to my daughter and my grandkids. My daughter was going to Dodger Stadium before she could walk and we share the love of baseball. I flew my daughter in from Texas to go to the World Series here and will do it again if I get the chance. The Grandkids are at the age where they are playing in High School. They visit me every summer and "Playing catch" is always the highlight for me. I don't have the same zip on the ball LOL as I once did or the same stamina, but 63 year old Grandpa can still whip it around and squat to catch them. A dodger game, Angel game or Both are always on our agenda. I will continue to do it every year until I can't. We'll also flip through the baseball cards and talk about some of the great players that "used to be".
Thanks Mike for your great content and passion for the vintage card hobby. I’ve been a closet collector for over 50 years. I feel all of the vintage you tubers are like a silent family to me. Your comment about the end of Field of Dreams was right on. When Kevin Costner says to his dad “Dad, do you wanna have a catch”? ,I also cry. I am quite saddened that I NEVER had a catch with my dad!! Quite emotional for me. Thank you again Mike. Totally respect all that you do.
Just watched. Reminded me to thank you for taking the time to grab a lunch and answer my questions Mike. Thanks to you and Chris for providing great content- you’ve now got me thinking about creating a RU-vid channel documenting my journey! 😃 Community is the best, in cards and in life
Awesome conversation, fellas! Mike, you are my youtube grandpa, Chris is my youtube dad (I'm opening myself up for a joke there), and I'm grateful for both of you.
Great episode guys. Chris with great words of wisdom “Everybody needs a hobby” the best part about this hobby is we can do it for the rest of our lives ❤ 👊🤙🤙
Great conversation, gents. So many points resonate with me - as I'm sure they do with anyone with a hobby. Chris: I've subscribed to your Channel, and look forward to viewing your content. Great stuff! 👍
Just an awesome conversation between two friends in the hobby. You can tell your friendship is genuine, but when Chris visits you Mike, I'd still have Julie keep the shotgun on him. LOL
great video guys. I appreciate both of your friendships. This community is great. LoL. i remember when in the beginning when mike said julie was like" who's this guy from philly? lol. its also creating great memories for all of us. Its also a video memoir or a diary handed down to our kids to watch us for generations. Love it
Discovering the both of you and watching your content. Has made collecting so much more fun. And meeting you both at Strongsville was great. And has inspired me to start a channel.
