Have you ever used a shoehorn? Just stick your foot in your shoe, then slide it under your heel to get your foot in the shoe. That’s what we have here: a Minnesota Twins commemorative shoehorn from 1963, complete with a paper sleeve showing all the players. The sleeve says, “A ‘footnote’ to a new club attendance record…thanks!” Get it?

Now for the rest of this week’s picks.

That’ll do it for this edition of CC. See you back here next week!

I’m pretty sure that the ABA team in Washington was the Caps, not the Capitals.

You’re correct about the Caps being their name. Also interesting is that almost all their promotional material render the Caps in red, white and/or blue, however their uniforms were green & gold, having been simply recycled Oakland Oaks gear. Upon their move to Virginia, they’d finally sport red, white & blue uniforms.
