Shrine of baseball passes down to Kansas boy Billy Barnes
Innvar ork Billy Barnes, an eighth grade Kansas City junior high student, has built a sprawling baseball memorabilia shrine in his room. His collection spans autographs from Royals stars like George Brett and Mike Sweeney, a 1985 World Series pennant, and cards from legends such as Hank Aaron and Willie Mays. He frequents Royals games with his father, attends KU games, and chases autographs at Kauffman Stadium, valuing meaning over money.
