Coast Life: Former Gulfport mayor celebrates sports nostalgia with home memorabilia collection
SUMMARY: Bob Short, a lifelong collector from Gulfport, Mississippi, has turned his home into a sports memorabilia museum, featuring items like Mickey Mantle plates and pictures of Nick Saban. His collection, amassed over decades, reflects his passion for sports and nostalgia. Unlike most collectors, Short doesn’t seek profit but instead shares baseball cards to uplift children. A former mayor and Mississippi legislator, he helped grow the Special Olympics and met sports icons like Muhammad Ali. After losing his wife, Pamela, Short focused on his collection for comfort and plans to leave it to his sister’s children.

From a Mickey Mantle plate to a signed Nick Saban picture, you can find it in Bob Short’s house, what he calls his sports museum.
