How Can We Get Cub Memorabilia into the Hall of Fame?
Just a little filler writeup. If you have any "pet Peavy's" keep them in Rob's Tuesday Hot Stove comments.
Over the weekend I heard that they have again added World Series Winner memorabilia into the Hall of Fame. This years addition is Cole Hamel's jersey worn in the rain delayed game 5 and Brad Lidge's glove for getting the save in game 5.
If they could just loosen up the criteria for getting stuff into the HOF a bit, I was wondering just what Cub trinkets would qualify?
Here's my short list but feel free to make it longer:
Stuffed black cat, Shea stadium circa 1969
Ron Santo's toasted gamer hairpiece from opening day in NYC 2003
Sammy Sosa's broken corked bat circa 2004
Moises Alou hand delivered urinalysis results, circa 2004
Videotape of Piniella's ejection June 3, 2007 with ump Mark Wegner
Autographed ball Cub infield, game 2, NLDS 2008...with 4 dirt smudges included
Ted Lilly (08) and Carlos Zambrano (07) game 4 NLDS warmup jackets
Of course plan B is to wait for our Carlos' (plural of Carlos? Carli?) Z and M to get their jersey/gloves into the HOF the way the Phillies pitchers did it this year.

All over that one, CUBSTER!
Don't forget the old "Beef Vendors", too. They were small, but still tasty.
