Well, foolishly I did not take a photo of the reverse. With the size it was hard to even get a clean picture. We had actually cleaned out a small bedroom so the room was completely empty when I got this picture.
Here is the exact image of the Sox material that makes up the back...
It was definitely a labor of love since my son and I watched many a game together. We also saw in person key post-season clinching games and Ortiz's last game last Monday. I know he'll enjoy it!!
Yeah, I want one for me! There appears to be one Ebay seller who does small Detroit shirt quilts. I'm very detailed oriented, as was the quilter, so this is pretty cool. It has a Sox pattern on the reverse and is very heavy. You'd have fun chasing down shirts!!

Thanks Alex!! Good pun.....
All is great- I'll try and stop by once in a while. I'm still collecting Ted W. and Hall of Fame autographs but I only infrequently add to the collection.
Hope you are well :p
Well life is crazy but this is too good not to show off- gave to son and new daughter-in-law. 9 ft. by 9 ft. Made by family friend who is an expert quilter......
If I could crank these out I would quit my job......
..was gonna say the same thing- gray flannels.
LOVE this pic!! Look how Willie towers over the others, including Hank. Santo has the "gun show" look. Bench, still a young 'un, looking somewhat awed by the situation. 5 HOFers plus Carlton. Where was Willie Mays in '69???
Thanks for sharing!!

Nice.......
2 weeks ago my son got the seller promo and I got bupkis.......usually we both get the same deals. Clearly this time we didn't.
I typically list more than he does, have been on EBAY since 1999 and have a better selling track record.
Hopeful I get one soon since I have a ton of items ready to...

Certain "first covers " sell well - Jordan Gretzky Tiger etc.... also some college teams have great followings like the Crimson Tide. I just can't break up something that was near and dear to me for most of my life.

I have every issue from 1976 to 2010 stacked neatly in my basement by year. Just can't part with them. Stopped subscription in 2010/11 since I was running out of shelve space. Use to read magazine from cover to cover. I miss it.....:(

The last few rate increases were 11-24 cents for a 1-3 ounce small package/envelope.
I can track that the rate was $1.69 as of late 2013, went to $1.93 in Jan 2014, then was raised to $2.04 last May (2015).
This rate increase of $.56 is so absurd.
Is it worth the risk to send a low dollar...
Old news but "D" day is approaching.......

96, he lived a long life. RIP Monte.
FYI, his nickname was Mr. Murder- http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/i/irvinmo01.shtml wouldn't have that nickname nowadays.....
...yeah the announcement certainly flew under the radar. I agree with regards to the players. Was surprised that Breadon or Adams was not elected. Will be interesting to see what happens the next time Steinbrenner appears on one of these ballots.
Most awards voted on before play-offs, right? Can't finding anything on when the SS is voted on. Oh well......
