Notes: 1954 Mays Bat, Rickwood Field Items Up for Auction; Expo Brings Crowds to MA; Whatnot’s Rewards Program

Biggest Show In Portland, ME In 35 Years Was a Big Hit

By

This past weekend I took a 17-hour round trip bus ride from New York City to Portland, ME to interview and obtain a few autographs of one of my boyhood heroes, Rangers and Bruins Hall of Famer Brad Park. The bus was my only affordable option, but I don’t recommend this mode of transportation for long trips. Every mile is a grind. My grueling journey was well worth it because … [Read more...] about Biggest Show In Portland, ME In 35 Years Was a Big Hit
