You think it will go that high? IDK what previous auctions have pulled in for HoF player game gear.

True story (and I apologize if I've said it before)

I won tickets to the tigers playoff game in 2006. I saw in the state news a number you could call to put your name in the running for free tickets. At that time, I rarely brought my giant yellow nextel cell phone with me. But for some reason, this day I did. Class got done early at msu, and I saw I had a voice-mail. I had to call within 30 min to claim my tickets or it was going to the next person. I called back and viola, scored tickets.

We go to pick them up at a side area in the stadium. Which is apparently where the celebs/higher up people go in. I look up to the second story banister to this guy leaning on it looking down. I looked at him, then saw a painting behind his left side. Looked back at the guy. Then the painting. And realized it was AL Kaline, standing there, next to his painting.

Cool story bro I know.

It is a cool story. I’d’ve embarrassed myself and those around me by calling his name and waving hi.

I always loved his batteries as a kid.
