Default Show Something That Could Be in the Baseball Hall of Fame

I wanted to start a cool thread. "Show something you own that could belong in the Baseball Hall of Fame". It could be a card, an autograph, or a piece of memorabilia. It also gives you the chance to brag or show off something from your collection. I'm not really interested in seeing 2-3 pieces, but rather just that one piece that totally WOULD NOT BE OUT OF PLACE in the Baseball Hall of Fame. After some time, I'd like to start a poll and see who the top vote-getter is. Also, please feel free to (light-heartedly) put down or make fun of those pieces in which you deem not worthy. It will be encouraged here! I'll try to take a picture of something I have, that I feel is worthy, when I get home. Otherwise, let's see some pics!

This item should qualify as something that could be in the Hall of Fame. It is a cabinet photo of Christy Mathewson taken by Benjamin Falk around 1904 (not certain about the date, might have been earlier). The image was used on one of the Matty W600s, Sporting Life portrait and 1915 Cracker Jack. You could say it was a cornerstone of my collection. Loved that photo. I acquired it from Mastro Auctions several years back. Subsequently Hauls of Shame alleged it had been stolen from the HOF. Long story short, this allegation proved to be correct and I returned it to the Hall. Having my name alongside in the mud with Bill Mastro, Doug Allen and Peter Nash does not count as one of my best hobby experiences. 'Nuf ced.

I could see the Hall being interested in this. Here is a Type 1 original photo of the moment Joe D extended his historic streak to 56 games:

Jackie signing with Montreal. My favorite piece. I could imagine it part of a display, despite my garbage scanning crop job.

Here is the only known program from Jackie Robinson's all star tour which was done in the late fall of 1946 - just before he broke through in 47- the tour features a team made up of both negro leaguers and white minor leaguers from the montreal team. Probably the first time that an integrated team played a white team in a major league park

This is an original panoramic photo (8" x 21") of Mickey Mantle on his first pro team, the semi-pro Whiz Kids, from 1947 when he was 16 years old. Mantle and a few of the other players have signed the picture (the other sigs are barely legible). The condition is a bit rough because it is an original that belonged to one of the kids in the picture, Guy Crow, who was the bat boy (left end of the right bench). This may also be the first photo of Mantle associated with baseball as his high school yearbooks don't have baseball photos in them though who knows what is still in his family.

I've written about this before, but seems interesting to me. Worthy of a local hall of fame and depending on your point of view, not too far out of place in the real one.

If you had said "picture of Joe D playing high school baseball", I wouldn't have argued. Very spartan setup! Fantastic item.

I know Peter Nash gets slammed around these parts a lot - rightly so, in a lot of cases - he did a lot of good work in exposing thefts from the Hall like this one. It's a shame innocent guys like yourself got/get dragged into

Here is my contribution. Please excuse the glare. But here are some notes related to the suspicious death of Big Ed Delahanty. Shortly after he died (semi-mystery), his wife sued Michigan Rail Road. These papers are from the trial in the court room. They are a fascinating read. I apologize for the glare.

Default Signed M116 Wagner

As far as I can tell, this is the earliest signed baseball card of Honus Wagner, from 1910-11.

I love the Steen signed M101-2s, and have a bunch myself. Does the Hall of Fame keep these or other 8x10 prints in the baseball card exhibit? It's definitely worth considering!

I have the Wags plus Archer and Tesreau. And a few of the 1940's examples.

Great stuff everyone. I'd have to say that the Mathewson or Mack signed Old Judge are definitely in the lead. Both Hall-worthy for sure. Keep 'em coming!

The foresight that someone showed to get that Mack card signed absolutely boggles the mind.

Hall may have some interest in this. I believe this to be one of, if the not the, earliest career contemporary signatures of the great Walter Johnson. This is a postcard sent by Walter in 1908, his second major league season, between games against the Indians and Tigers. He mentions winning the game the day before in the first lines of the card. Signed Walter J:

"The foresight that someone showed to get that Mack card signed absolutely boggles the mind."


Mack lived to be a very old man. They could have gotten it signed in the mid 1950s. Autographs were a thing by then, even if people weren't really after ball player's autos in the 1880s.

Of course if you mean that it took some foresight to get a 70 year old card signed in the 1950s, that's true too. But even if you never expected it to be worth any money, it would be cool to have something that old signed by a manager of Mack's caliber.

The original of this, which includes my wife's grandfather, does appear in the HOF and in the Louisville Slugger Bat museum. ( the photo only, not the obit)

This I actually have thought about loaning to a baseball museum, but that would be the Babe Ruth Museum down in Baltimore. It's a bat from the movie The Babe Ruth Story and it belonged to William Bendix at one time, then his relatives, who were great friends with my grandparents. Probably went untouched from the time it was stored away until I put my grubby 7-year-old hands on it. Luckily it was too big to swing back then and it has remained on display since I got it. That's why it's in such great shape.

What's baseball without some cracker jacks! This is one of the earliest known surviving boxes circa 1912. Because the more you eat, the more you want!

The William Bendix bat could DEFINITELY belong in the HOF. That's a great piece!

1951 Battle Creek Belles team signed ball with manager Dave Bancroft on an official AAGPBL ball







AAGPBL contract signed by one of the great stars in league history Ruth Richard and HOFer Max Carey.

I do believe that the 1909 Pirates uniform in the thread below could definitely be in the HOF!

Thanks. I went with the Babe Ruth bat as my choice just because it hasn't been shown here for awhile and I hadn't taken pics of it since I got my new computer a couple years ago. Also, the fact that I have given thought to loaning it to the Babe Ruth Museum, it fit the subject.

It is interesting (to me at least) how different the items in this thread are from if someone posted a thread asking people to post their most valuable items.

Here are a few that might warrant at least a moment of consideration:

1) Lineup cards from George Brett's 3000 hit game
2) Carbon copies of the lineup cards from Phil Niekro's 300 win game
3) Final baseball from the series in the 1945 Navy World Series.
4) Letter from Walter Johnson in 1910 about the proposed 1910 All-Star Tour that the Commission prevented from happening.
5) 1946 Nashua Dodgers Photo signed by entire team (featured Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe in the same season that Jackie Robinson was playing in the Minors and the year before the integration on the Major League level.

I have a few things that I believe could be described this way. I see that most of these items are player related so I thought I would change it up and add something different. Although certainly not pre-war I think this Cleveland Indians dugout phone from Municipal Stadium is fun and would look awesome mounted in the HOF as part of a display to honor the Tribe's futility

This piece, apparently, is worthy of being in the HOF...Because the acquisitions committee voted unanimously to take it in for their art collection.

My father, who passed away 2 years ago, was a very talented artist and designer. We took annual pilgrimages up to Cooperstown (fond memories). On one trip in 1994, he did this pen & ink sketch of the Hall. After he passed away, I had it framed and contacted the HOF to donate it. They loved it, and it's now part of their permanent collection.

Saying I'm honored, humbled and touched, to have a piece of my father's art in the Hall of Fame, would be an understatement. I plan to bring my son there in a few years to see it.
