ABC's Ball Boys

Finally!!! A reality show for me!! There are no reality shows I will spend time watching. Unless you consider Man vs Food and Hoarders reality then those you can count for my watching as well. The rest of them seem to fake or boring. To me, a show like Survivor, seems like a cardboard background. If you were to really go to an island and try to survive, you wouldn't play games to earn things. You would be stuck there and be filmed and try to live off from the island. That would be real reality. And the last one who doesn't go insane or back out is the winner.

But I must admit, I really enjoyed watching Ball Boys this past weekend. If you didn't get the chance here is a quick run down of the show...The scene is a sports card shop called Robbie's First Base. It is located in Timonium, Md. Its owned by a father and son duo Robbie Davis Sr and Robbie Jr. There are two employees, a sports savvy guy in Shaggy and I haven't quite figured out why he is on the show in Sweet Lou.  They buy sports memorabilia and resell it.

They ended up with some great memorabilia items. And how awesome was it to see Jim Brown come in and authenticate his own autograph when the father and son who were trying to sell the items to the owners didn't have any way to show it was real. And they also bought a ring from the Notre Dame Championship in '77. The team that Joe Montana was on. They acquired the ring to sell to a woman who was buying it for her husband. Wow!!

If you haven't seen it yet, you should give it a watch.
