[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 104240, member: 468"]Besides fun little children BB player statues, banks, clocks and such things, they needed some more photos especially something USNavy because it's a Navy town and the hubby was Navy, as I was, and my youngest son. I found a copy of the BB team posing on board the USS Maine a week or so before she blew up in Havana Harbor. :( I got a copy of the USS Washington team also posing aboard that ship. 1919 I think. Since I'm from Jersey City, NJ I got them a large photo of Roosevelt Stadium taken from the air. RS was the place Jackie Robinson played his first 'professional' game. I just finished extending the front decor 16' into the back and added 16' of high shelving for 'stuff'. :) (See photo...yes...real BBs I sliced halfway into and mounted to the brackets.) :) (There are various methods in play to hold them until the silicone dried.) I've given them dozens of BB books and soon there will be a long rack for those for people to peruse while eating. ~ [ATTACH=full]26351[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
