What a great sheet! Some kid took the time to create "Autographs of the Pittsburgh Pirates" in '48 or so, and then had the good sense to save it. I don't know if this is the clubhouse version or not. I do have at least a half dozen team balls from his playing days that bear this form of the autograph. Gathering from the other signatures, this is pretty close to his rookie year. How many rookies of that era got "clubhouse'" service?
