Just put up (with photos coming soon as part of it) my interview with the great, late Billy Pierce. It was the start of a friendship that I miss terribly to this day with his passing. A great player, and even better person. And when you read the interview I've listed just a small part of what he had collected over his remarkable career that was in his basement. It left me agog. When I asked if I could feel his game worn 1959 World Series uniform (it was wool and I had never felt one like that before) Billy readily agreed.
He took it out for me, I felt it, then said, "You know Bill I don't mean to be sacrilegious but to me feeling this is like a Catholic feeling the Shroud of Turin!" Bill got a laugh out of that one.
He was one of a kind on and off the field.
I hope you enjoy the interview. Any comment, questions or memories of Bill, please post them in this thread.
