Collector's Call
Janay Smith- Sports & Celebrities
Synopsis
"Janay Smith is giving us a small glimpse at the world largest, private, game worn sports collection, a collection she inherited after her sports crazed, lawyer father left her, when he passed. Some of this spectacular collection is at the Smithsonian, but today, she'll show us Hank Aaron's jersey, and the game ticket from the day he broke Babe Ruth's home-run record. We'll see Muhammad Ali's trunks and training robe, Kobe Bryant's #8 autographed jersey, and Jim Brown's MVP trophy. Historian and African American material culture expert, Philip Merrill, will evaluate this collection with a number never heard before on "Collector's Call," and then attempt a trade Janay with a big-time big league offer. But will she play ball?"
