Posted By: Chris CountsHere are a few post-war Oakland Oaks. Most collectors here will recognize the first three (two HOFers and another guy who should be in). Wilson hit .400 in the Negro Leagues, just a few years after Ted Willimas became the "last man" to hit that high in 1941 ... <img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e278/ccmcnutt/48lombardi2.jpg"> <img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e278/ccmcnutt/48martin.jpg"> <img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e278/ccmcnutt/48stengel.jpg"> <img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e278/ccmcnutt/49wilson2.jpg">

Posted By: RichardIf I had to pick just one, it'd probably be Ten Million's T212. Since that's already been posted, though, I'll go with what is probably number two. A Canadian issue featuring a Canadian-born player on a Canadian-based team: <img src="http://www.richardarmstrong.ca/C46_OHara.gif"> Regards, Richard.

Posted By: howardFKW, Some interesting Rifleman trivia: when he played for the Celtics in 1946 he became the first player to break a glass backboard. He didn't make a thunderous dunk ala Darryl Dawkins he just took a set shot and the backboard, which was faulty, shattered. He was also drafted by the Chicago Bears

Posted By: Dan BrettaMust have been the salty air? Thanks for the info Brian - got any good links to Strand's outstanding season? I know there were some big numbers put up in the West Texas New Mexico League in the 1930's but those numbers are just ridiculous.

Posted By: Brian Here is something I wrote previously on Strand with some links: Paul Strand holds the record for most hits in a single season in professional baseball with 325. He racked up back-to-back seasons with .384 in 1922 and .394 in 1923. The .384 came off of 752 at-bats in 178 games and the .394 season came from 825 at-bats in 194 games. His 325 hits came in 1923 when he had 187 RBI. And he pitched at least one perfect game in the minors. He is in the PCL HOF <a href="http://www.minorleaguenews.com/baseball/affiliated/aaa/pcl/features/articles2004/041404.10.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.minorleaguenews.com/baseball/affiliated/aaa/pcl/features/articles2004/041404.10.html</a> He won a World Series w/ the Miracle Braves in 1914. He received the highest signing bonus ever (at the time) for a pitcher in the early 1910s AND the highest signing bonus ever (at the time) for a hitter in 1924. His MLB stats are here <a href="http://baseball-reference.com/s/stranpa01.shtml" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://baseball-reference.com/s/stranpa01.shtml</a> Here is a Bill James tidbit about Strand: <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=mUzTJ4-8N0EC&pg=RA2-PA143&lpg=RA2-PA143&dq=%22paul+strand%22+salt+lake+%22bill+james%22&source=web&ots=UEhl4WjgNB&sig=-Atfh18d_fyR-dKw4AbF27E1kjs&hl=en#PRA1-PA143,M1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://books.google.com/books?id=mUzTJ4-8N0EC&pg=RA2-PA143&lpg=RA2-PA143&dq=%22paul+strand%22+salt+lake+%22bill+james%22&source=web&ots=UEhl4WjgNB&sig=-Atfh18d_fyR-dKw4AbF27E1kjs&hl=en#PRA1-PA143,M1</a> <img src="http://i17.ebayimg.com/02/i/04/b1/db/fe_1_b.JPG"> <img src="http://www.nd.edu/~joycecol/exhibits/bbexhibit/balls/14bos1/14bos1rsp.jpeg"> I own the autographed paper but not the ball...
