'costs /worth an arm and leg', Eternals, disarming



In the mid-1990s, Mr. Cannon turned his love of baseball into the Baseball Reliquary, a nonprofit organization that comprises a disarming collection of unusual objects and includes the Shrine of the Eternals — individuals elected annually more for their unique characters and achievements than for their statistics or their official place in baseball’s history.

在1990年代中期,坎農先生將對棒球的熱愛轉化為非營利性組織“棒球古物寶盒”,該組織包括大量不尋常的物品,並包括永恆之宮。 他們每年根據獨特性選出,而非根據棒球統計數據或官方的歷史位置。
