October 2007: Mack grandchildren Kathleen McGillicuddy Kelly & brother Tom come to Hatboro.

When asked how they enjoyed the 2007 baseball season ,Kathleen sadly stated "Since our Diamond Backs were swept out of the playoffs, I had to visit the A's Museum to reminisce about grandfathers many winning championships and be in his company" while brother Tom, from Florida smiled and said, "as I watched these playoffs I was amazed at how many former Marlins were playing on post season teams, amazing isn't it ?"

(Editors note: there's a trivia question for you: "how many former members of the Florida Marlins participated with other teams in the 2007 playoffs "?)

Sean & Clifford surprised the family after working months to get the old woolen A's uniform the players wore back in the day. They were the hit of the day, & enjoyed every minute playing up to the crowd & having their photo taken with fans who came up to them.

After the first pitch Sean & Clifford and the family stopped at the dining room where all the great former players & families were & had them sign their baseball uniform shirts. It was so much fun & the players loved it. They were thrilled to have the likes of Eddie Joost, & Bobby Shantz, etc. autographs.
