It's kind of an odd thing to mix baseball with The Beatles but on the 60th anniversary of the Fab Four's famous Shea Stadium concert, the New York Mets hope to hit a home run with their celebration.

I'd almost forgotten about this. Years ago, while working in radio, I flew to New York to interview Sid Bernstein, the promoter who brought the Beatles to the U.S.

The piece came out great and he gave me the souvenir below, which I still have. I don't know if it's real or not - there's nothing on the other side, like advertising or disclaimers. But I still treasure the memento.

You may have the real deal, especially since Sid gave it to you. There are a couple up for sale on eBay, and they're blank on the back. They're going for about two grand each.

Wow. I've never been sure and have never had them assessed. It's not for sale, but it's a great keepsake either way. Thanks for the info.
