If a foul ball comes his way ang he wins the game of “grandstand grab,” he can put it in -his pocket and take it to the kids instead of tossing it back to be sent overseas. Favorites Come Back His old favorites, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Bobby Feller, Terry Moore, . Dick Wakefield, Luke Appling, Denny Galehouse, and a raft of others can be expected back at the ball parks. Soon he'll be able to travel to any sports event he wants to take | in, the world series, a Rose Bowl football game, the Kentucky Derby, | or the national open golf tournament. ‘Out on the links he can use shiny new balls without restraint, | knowing there are plenty more! where that one came from.
