Not my typical autograph pickup, but was excited to get my hand on this 1951 gpc. "Red" enjoyed a single game at the major league level. The date was April 24th 1937, and the sox were playing their home opener against the Bronx bombers... Their were 7 hall of famers in the lineup that day: Gehrig, Lazzeri, dickey, ferrell, Doerr, grove, and Cronin. The game was a see-saw battle that went into extra innings. Daughters got the call to pinch run in the 10th for Rick Ferrell... He ran the bases successfully and scored the 5th run for the home team, but it was enough to get the win.

Daughters never got another shot... 1 game, 0 at bats, but the tale of a lifetime: scoring an extra inning run against the yanks in a home opener!

Just don't come across his signature too often... Happy to add it to my collection
