On May 8, 2010 a group of KCBHS members gathered for lunch at the world famous Jim Chappells Sports Restaurant Museum (an ongoing supporter of KCBHS). Members were invited to bring some of their personal baseball collectibles to display and share with other members. After a great lunch, each member took turns describing their collecting interests and talked about some of the unique items that they own. A wide variety of baseball programs, bats, photos, yearbooks, cards, uniform jerseys and other items were shown and enjoyed by all who attended. The KCBHS hopes to hold similar events in the future for our members.

First call, a stike right down the middle. “Hey Charlie, this is Skip. Hey, Skippy, haven spoken to you in a while how are things going?”...
