Nor I. I was going to mention that it's been written that he was so nervous he had to have the manager tie his shoes..Then up pops your picture. I wonder if that was true and then they posed for a pic after the game recreating the shoe tying or did someone see that picture and just assume that the manager tied his shoes before the game? I'd almost lean to the first one as I can see no reason for a picture like that. any other thoughts?Thanks again Jackie, I enjoy your treasures...

Maybe the whole thing was staged - someone thought the idea was amusing and everyone agreed to go along with it?
