What special event is taking place at the Baseball Card Castle?
Only if they win. Welcome back to a Donnie Football Friday. It's been a very special Friday here at the Baseball Card Castle in Cranberry. General Patton, Jeff Patton, standing right in front of me. And we're supporting the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. Donnie Football to my right. Austin City Limits Bechtold to my left. You can stop in, bring non-perishable donations, drop by to donate, donate online at pittsburghfoodbank.org slash need, or just text need to 50155. As always, we're just overwhelmed by the store itself. I mean, you know, I'm walking back from...
How does General Patton contribute to the community during the event?
the food room over there, General, and there's these little things that you wouldn't even think to see because they're amidst a million others, and it's an autographed Pete Rose jersey or something like that. I mean, it's just unbelievable. All the stuff you have in here, you kick things off with a $1,000 donation. You're a very generous man, a good man, and this store is, like I always say, you step in here, and I'm sure Donnie would agree, you step right back into your childhood. It's amazing.
That's the premise, right? We enjoy having stuff around us. Like I couldn't play in the NFL. I couldn't play in Major League Baseball. So like you, I have the second best job, right?
What unique experiences do guests have at the Baseball Card Castle?
I get to talk about it all day, every day. I'm surrounded by 21 million cards, 100,000 autographs. And the greatest part of the job for me is when a grandma or grandpa comes in and they go, oh, Willie Stargell was fascinating. And you see them put down for a minute the pressures of the world and just talk about Ernie DiGiorgio for a minute. That's what makes me excited to do this.
I just had a man, Frank Garland. I think he's a sports... writing professor at Slippery Rock, just walked in, randomly handed me a Willie Stargell book and walked out. Is this your first time meeting Donnie Football? What's that experience been like?
It's the first time he's been here, but we've met a couple times. But it's still been a fantastic experience.
I've got Donnie's wedding present over there behind wraps. I think he's going to like that one, don't you? We have it concealed. He'll like it. What should I get Sarah, though? Now I feel selfish because I've gotten you a wedding present that's all about you. Although, as I said, if it puts you downstairs in the man cave, she wins, right?
What memorable sports memorabilia has been shared?
So something else that I did have a question about, General, because I know it's all sports stuff. You have some music stuff.
back there i know you had a little like a little section with the beatles do you jump into that well at all or do you try to stay away from that no i'm a sports guy but what happens is i have hundreds of people approach me about selling stuff we average 200 people a week come through the front door and sometimes when somebody loses a loved one and they have a man cave full of stuff and 80 percent of it is baseball basketball football hockey that's what i'm after But to be accommodating to a family, you just take it all. And I will say that the Americana stuff is interesting, right? And like if you notice how the store's footprint is laid out, it turns black and gold at the beginning. And as you go deeper into the bowels of the store, it changes a little bit into other teams and or Americana things.
So it's not my primary interest, but it's cool to some people.
I saw a magical George Pickens jersey back there.
Yeah, how about that? If you wear it, you're late to everything. Well, what's really funny about that is you should see the influx that comes. You like that, Donnie?
I do.
When a guy gets traded, I still have people throwing Le'Veon Bell jerseys at me or AB jerseys, right? Because something that once was proudly displayed in their man cave is now not something they're interested in.
Wonderful to renew acquaintances with our friend City Limits. You should get a City Limits figurine. It would only weigh an ounce. That's it.
How does the quiz show format work in this episode?
We talk almost daily.
What? What is? It would only weigh an ounce? Great to see you, General, as always. And you. Thanks for coming today.
