Original document trading two Hall of Famers - Orlando Cepeda and Joe Torre
Ok...hope I'm not boring anyone.
This official document dated March 17, 1969 formalizes the trade of Orlando Cepeda for Joe Torre. In the St. Patrick’s Day swap, the Braves gained Cepeda who two years earlier was the National League’s Most Valuable Player. The Cardinals in return gained Torre who two years later would win an MVP of his own. The bottom of the document is signed by Hall of Fame candidate, GM Bing Devine.
This document and the other pieces in previous posts are all on CooperstownExpert.com. Have to tell you, sometimes I get fired up about collecting...and every so often I have a moment of clarity and think about getting rid of everything and paying off the bills.
Thanks for looking!
