I brought the founder of Row One on The Football History Dude podcast to share the origin story of the company. You will also hear how much Ray knows about the history of the tickets and programs his company has reprints of, as well as the shear passion for sports history. We get into many college football games, all of which have a ticket or program to go along with the story on Row One’s store.
