MVSNYCi'll jump in here...
i TOTALLY understand the interest, premium and allure of any moonlight graham memorabilia. it is without debate that he is now part of our vernacular due to kinsella & field of dreams...but his story is compelling and it is not fiction, his one game in the majors DID happen...and he DID go on to become an important figure in a small town.
his is a very "romantic" story, made even MORE romantic thru the lines delivered by burt lancaster.
i'd love to have a piece of his memorabila...Rhett- great piece, BTW...
p.s. on a similar note, i just found out about a player named Roy Gleason. he played only a few games in late 1963 on the championship LA dodger team, mostly as a pinch-runner...BUT, in ONE of those games, he did get ONE official at bat...he got a double.
i am excited to say that just acquired his game used bat.
