Didn’t get back to you soon enough to answer….
Grandson (2 yrs old) is in town for his first visit to California. I’ll be kinda busy for the next couple weeks.

Awesome. Have fun!

Traveled with Bryant and the Giants for a few years. Bryant carried a huuuuge carnival bear with him on the plane. He’d pitch a gem at CP before about 1800 fans. We tried not to show empty seats because it made Horace sick.
IIRC Bryant fell on hard times after baseball.
