You know if you could get pictures. Not sure if I've ever seen a Lajoie uniform.

Doesn't sound that "distant" of a relative if he's got Naps uniform, glove etc...Wow! It would be awesome to see his collection of Naps stuff.

My family doctor for the past 15 is from Pennsylvania and told me his aunt was married circa 1928 in a Philadelphia hotel, and guess who stopped by the hotel during the reception. The story is Ty Cobb was a gentleman, danced a dance with the aunt and the doctor said his brother had a Cobb signed wedding program (since sold).

He's probably told me the story at least seven times over the years now. He's a good doctor and I've known him for years, so have no reason to question the story that there was an Cobb autograph in the family.

there are plenty of dogs around who will hound relatives of older players looking for an inside to what they have etc and also to get into their houses.

By talking about it here, though not our intention, did we opened the door to such a person

Jim,
That sure was not my intention and I was ignorant for what I may have created for him, so I am going to stop this thread and erase the information before it gets any worse.
Thanks for opening my eyes.

I'm sorry but this isn't going to open up anything for him! You don't think if someone is going to hound a players relative, that they would know about him by now.

over 200 Doctors with that name in USA

Knowing location, made him easy to find.

Knowing that he does in fact have items

opens up a whole other set of circumstances

in my opinion, I do not think he would want people to know that something does exists
