June 10 auction at Sotheby’s of baseball memorabilia – including the 1920 contract, selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees – the beginning of the almost-century-long misery of Boston fans (I swiped the picture from Yahoo – see an image of it below. Love those old manual typewriters!)
I would love to be at Sotheby’s on that day, just to watch. Does anyone know anything about that? Is there a “gallery” for us proletariat types? I’d love to be there.
Dearest: So-and-so Feinstein, the RI philanthropist [his wealth comes from selling foreign coins of no particular value to people who don’t know any better] owns it. He tried to sell it on E-bay a couple of times [I thing he had a rserve of a million bucks–what a doofuss]. What’s the reserve at Sotheby’s? love, dad
And there you have it: The inside Rhode Island scoop on this doofus. I had no idea. Dad, you’re awesome.
