So my theme was to have all the players who signed be Hall Of Famers and who played in 1939.
Now 70 years later, there's no one else I can ever add to it.
When I met Ted Williams (Atlantic City show in '88) I handed him the green pen as Ty Cobb often signed items like that. He liked how I knew that and even offered to buy the piece after he signed it.

Hey Jay. What a terrific piece and and even better story behind the piece...especially about Williams. I do love pieces that have cool stories to go with them. Well done.
Best, Jimmy
