Mickey Mantle's bat


One of the perks of being an intern at the BB Hall of Fame that even full-time employees do not get, is individual tours of the collections section of the museum. We request in advance what items we would like to see/touch/experience and they pull them out for us. The tours are one-on-one.

Here are photos of Rayna and me holding Mickey Mantle's used bat. You can see the location on the bat where he hit the most -- right on the sweet spot. There was also a crack in the bat. Not sure what the significance of the #401 stamped on the bat.

I have waived the additional late fee for you.  The ticket is paid in full!

Hello, 

I received an additional $10 "late fee" on a parking ticket #434520 I paid last month. Here's the story:

I parked the car across the street from the Inn and fed the meter, while putting my teenage son on the bus to NYC. The bus arrived, and while I paid the driver for the bus ticket, my son rushed to get is bags out of the car. All set, we waived goodbye, I returned to my car to discover my son had pocketed the car keys

I phoned him to drop off the key in Lebanon, as that's the next stop (for the Boston bus). I hopped on a city bus to Lebanon, to the bus station. But the NY bus does not stop in Lebanon! I returned to Hanover. 

My car key has a security code so you can't just jump start it, nor simply have a key made. I live an hour north and my wife was out of town that week, so I couldn't get home to retrieve the spare key. Instead I had to have it towed to the Toyota dealer in White River Junction. Fortunately the towing fee was covered by road-side assistance, but I still had to pay $100+ to have the car "re-programmed" and a new key made.

Sometime in the midst of all this, I got a ticket. It was just another slap, and i stuffed it into the glove compartment. I apologize I forgot about the ticket until I received the letter from Hanover in the mail. 

Would you be able to waive the remaining $10 late fee?

Thank you

Sincerely,

Jon
