So yes, I got the two World Series... BUT... Caitlyn had a THIRD that needed love too... so... probably not since the 1930's has there been THREE Rock-Ola World Series pins side by side! All will be restored.
And just to pu things in perspective... in baseball in 1934:
Lou Gehrig won the American League MVP and the St-Louis Cardinals won the World Series
The Pittsburgh Crawfords, with their star player Satchel Paige, won the Negro League title (and if you are a history buff or baseball nut, read up on Satchel Paige. The BEST player that ever lived, according to my grandfather... Paige was over 60 years old in his last MLB game...). I isited the Negro League Baseball hall of fame in Kansas City a few years ago. Met an ex-player there who was more than happy to tell me the stories. One of my best museum trips. But I digress...
1934 was the turning point of a very dark period, the Great Depression. An new house cost on average 6000$, less than a new pin today. LOL.
That year, a fanatic that was elected the year before in Germany, self-proclaimed himself as the fuhrer...
Bonnie and Clyde saw their journey end in a hail of bullets in Louisiana.
Nessie is spotted in Loch Ness for the first time...
And Alcatraz was open for business.
And 84 years later....
PLAY BALL!!!
