The whole water heater-furnace mess chez nous has had a few positive aspects. A lot of old junk in the garage had to be moved to get to the busted appliances, and some of it kept right on moving to the trash (or Goodwill).
And then there were the boxes full of "memorabilia", like this baseball ticket stub.
It's for Game 7 of the 1962 World Series--a game I never saw (I was 6 at the time) and only know about because it helps define my life as a Giants fan. That's the game the Giants lost 1-0, when future Hall of Famer Willie McCovey lined out to end the game with runners at 2nd and 3rd. I have no idea how the ticket came to be mine.
But I know what to do with it now. It's for sale on eBay, along with a few other stubs and some game programs and tchotchkes and other stuff my wife has long considered "junk". I used to argue with her, saying these things were being kept for posterity. Now, I'm more interested in having less stuff. So if someone else wants my posterity and is willing to pay for it...let's deal.
