Photo by Lawrence Lucier/Getty ImagesThis one is for the Price is Right fans out there. I have mentioned before that I have a house full of Hollywood and Game Show memorabilia. One of the items is this pair of Rod Roddy's baby shoes. TPIR fans may remember Rod, he was the heavy-set Announcer of The Price Is Right just prior to me. Rod died of colorectal cancer in the Fall of 2003... Mr. Barker gave me the job in March of '04.

These baby shoes of Rod's were given to me by the Executor of Rod's will... Lawrence Siegal. I also own a number of Rod's shiny "show" jackets (including the one Rod is wearing in the photo) and Rod's old headphones. The only piece of Johnny Olson memorabilia I own is Johnny's original microphone from the Price Is Right (circa 1975). I'll show you that on another day. Stay tuned... more photos to come.
