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.

SUMMARY: A special election has been scheduled for April in Pearl River County following the discovery of two illegal votes in the recent tax assessor and collector race. Governor Tate Reeves announced the election date after court documents revealed that illegal votes affected the runoff results between Sandy Cain Smith and Joe Lynn Houston. The runoff was originally decided by just three votes in Picayune’s south side precincts. Due to the narrow margin and the invalid ballots, voters in two precincts will return to the polls to ensure a fair and accurate outcome for the county tax assessor and collector position.

The special election for the Tax Collector/Assessor in Pearl River County will also be held on November 4, 2025.
