baseball cards found in an attic in ohio sold at auction yesterday for more than half a million. the cards were sold last night at the national sports collectors convention. they featured ty cobb and the much sought after honis wagner. a family discovered them last month while they were cleaning out their granddad's attic. they are dividing that money evenly among 20 cousins. isn't that something? take us into the weekend. >> pretty cool. the weekend on the warm side, make stormy, too. expect to see some thunderstorms. you can see some out there right now. so heads-up for that. we talk about the heat, high temperature tomorrow, 96 against we hit it yesterday, we hit it

today. i think we'll get there again tomorrow. on sunday, most of the day should be okay, but we do have a chance for strong to severe thunderstorms, especially late sunday afternoon into friday -- or into sunday evening. temperature sunday around 95. will dip down to 88 on monday. that would be the coolest day. that's actually our average high before moving right back into the 90s as we head into next week with a couple chances at storms. no real big organized areas of severe weather, but we'll be watching it for you right here at nbc4. all right. so, do you remember what you were doing at this time 16 years ago? then as now, remember 1996, we were celebrating the joy of olympic victory and the agotten of the awful bombing in atlanta. then as of now we were deep into a presidential election

campaign. truth is i remember the largeers landscape, except for one. i clearly and so very fondly remember this one. this is drew vance adams, and he is my first grandchild, and i am blessed beyond words with children that cause my hard to soar like the eagle. just when you think it could get any better here it comes. >> drew, of course, slept through the whole thing, so he couldn't have been embarrassed, as he probably will be now. 16 years later, about this >> 360, drew. >> do a 580, 570. >> 615. >> whoo. >> got that. he's going to hate me for that 16-year-old boys don't like that attention, but i don't care.

i am immensely proud of that boy, and perhaps even so of his parents. raising a male child in these troubled times, with so many temptations and opportunities for things to go wrong despite a parent's very best efforts. drew is a wonderful kid who gives his parents no more than the normal allotment of crap that comes with every adlessant. i submit all of this, because my grandson celebrated his 16th birthday last week. i'm sure he's mortified right about now. i ask his forgiveness and forbearance, because 16 years from now, i can assure you i won't be here to mark that special day. but i am sure i will be no less proud of that boy than i am today. happy birthday, boy. >> there's a good chance you'll still be here, don't you -- >> around, but not in this chair. >> you never know. hey, thanks for joining us.
