In the summer of 2008 Steve B. and I had a chance to attend the opening of a Boston Museum of Science exhibit called "Baseball As America".  The Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York presented this travelling exhibit of baseball memorabilia and artifacts.  During the event we had the opportunity to meet and have our picture taken with several Hall of Famers and the two World Series trophies from the Red Sox two recent championships.

Here I am standing behind the two World Series trophies won by the Boston Red Sox in 2004 and 2007.  I wasn't supposed to touch them but I did.

Here's another angle.  I had surgery on my hand earlier that day so I was a little groggy.
