Wow. Nice item there Michael. This one just came in the mail for me. Very excited as Josh Gibson, Oscar Charleston and three other Hall of Famers were on this team considered the best Negro League team of all time. If anyone knows any good online resources where I can find newspaper archives of this game please let me know. Pittsburgh Courier archives proved fruitless. Thanks for any help and thoughts. -peter

Not the best photos, but here is my recent pickups, framed, and displayed. Early 19teens hand-written plays by Army Coach Charles Daly, 1899, 1908, and 1910 Army Navy tickets, and a cabinet of Truman Murphy (played in first Army-Navy game).

Niche area, but I like them.

A postcard of Harley "Pete" Wood (Smoky Joe's brother) at the University of Kansas. Pete's actual postcard that he sent to his cousins back home in Ness City, KS in 1909.

Default Two awesome DiMaggio bats

Just got these in the mail (from separate purchases) yesterday and today.
One is (I think) and 1951-57 Adirondack "DiMaggio Type". It had a crack, but someone obviously spent some love repairing it. Absolutely beautiful bat.

The other one is (I think) a 1946-50 Adirondack "DiMaggio Type". This one is curious. It doesn't have the "Personal Model" above and below the name on the barrel; nor does it have "Flexible Whip Action" to the right of the label. There is also no number (or anything else) on the knob.
However, what it does have is signs of use. There is lots of pine tar on the handle, and some (very minor) grain separation on the barrel. There is a minor crack along the handle (covered by the pine tar), but nothing that detracts from the gorgeous visual display.

I love these bats, and they are now hanging on my wall right next to my prized DiMaggio bat.

On July 30th, 1931 in Crucible, PA, the Grays won their 17th consecutive game crushing Crucible 12-2. Oscar Charleston hit a double, triple and a homer. Josh Gibson and Tubby Scales also had 3 hits apiece and every man in the lineup that day hit safely at least once. Lefty Williams was the winning pitcher, giving up 8 hits and striking out 5 of the locals and the Grays had 16 hits.

This is from a book called "Phil Dixon's American Baseball Chronicles Great Teams: The 1931 Homestead Grays Volume 1". Dixon wrote some very good books on the Negro Leagues and this Grays book is one of the hardest to find as it's self-published. If you are interested in the '31 Grays, there is no finer and doggedly researched book than this. Dixon tracked down almost every single box score and newspaper article on virtually all the team's games that summer and wrote a nice recap of each one for this book. The one downside is that there is no comprehensive listing of year end statistics. In reality it wouldn't really reveal anything as most of the Grays games were against town teams like Crucible which was hardly up to the task of taking on the Grays. Still, it would have been neat to see a 3-tiered breakdown of how each player did against white minor league teams, Negro League teams and town and semi-pro teams.

Neat ticket!

So happy to pick this up at the Goldin auction last night. It is the banner that was hanging above the scoreboard at Wrigley Field during the 2013 season. This means that it was hanging there the night that the Pirates clinched their first post season appearance in 21 years.

I am going to try my best to get every Pirate who was in uniform that night sign it for me. It measures 30 by 70 inches. I will treasure this.

OMG. Thank you so much for this info. So great to know what happened at this game! And yes I'm with you, from what I've learned about how they tracked stats for the Negro Leagues, I wish they broke down the numbers by type of opponent too.

thanks again Jersey Gary.

I picked up these two snapshots taken outside of Three Rivers during the 1971 Series. They are obviously more appealing to my palate but I'm a simple and easily entertained fellow.

Is she wearing a Pirates hat? If so, do you have one? What's in her hand? A cowbell? I like "old" photos too....a lot of times you'll see stuff you "need" in them.

She's an Orioles fan. The cowbell was a Baltimore tradition dating back to the team's International League days. Still had some fans that did it when I used to go sit in the bleachers in Memorial Stadium in the late '80's. I hesitate to say "Baltimore tradition" because the O's certainly weren't the only group of fans to use a cow bell!

The Northwest African American Museum recently sent me this 3 feet X 5 feet blow-up of a ca. 1909 Roslyn, Washington PC. This was at the NAAM's "Pitch Black : A History of Black Baseball in Washington", it was near the Amateur Roslyn miners items. NAAM curator Chieko Phillips sent it as a thank you for research contributed to the exhibit. She's the greatest!!!

This image is from the collection of another member, and the copy I recently picked up is dwarfed in the upper right hand corner. It's ridiculously large, any ideas on how to display this item? Heavy bond paper.

Just added this really neat vintage baseball stitching "machine" from the Huggins and Scott auction yesterday. I am not comfortable calling it a machine as it really just held the ball and the leather in place while the ball was being hand stitched. I am also not confident that it necessarily dates to the 19th century, although I do not know if I will ever know the answer to that one way or the other as there are no manufacturers markings on it. The ones that I have seen that date to the 1920's or so had a spring that helped keep the two levers on top closed on the ball. This one seems to be more rustic in that there is a string and latch as opposed to a spring. This could potentially make it older than those I had seen previously, but does not necessarily make it a product of the 1800's. Although it certainly could be.

Anyway, I am going to be very happy with this item. It is nearly three feet tall!

Picked up this 1910 Michigan vs Syracuse program. I believe Branch Rickey was the head coach of Michigan at the time.

Very nice, Dave! Simply gorgeous.
I will be in Cincinnati in late March & I'll try to go take a look at it if they have it on display by then.

Default Bob Feller 348th K 1946 scored program & a pair of game used cleats with a cool twist

Here are two neat recent pickups from February.
Perhaps some of you recall I recently picked up a scored program from Bob Feller's 300th K in his career year- 1946 and posted it here on net54.

Ironically, I also just found a beautiful scorebook from Feller's 348th and final K in his 1946 campaign. This game played on 9/29/46 at DET featured a matchup of the Tigers HOF'er "Prince Hal" Newhouser and HOF "Rapid" Robert Feller. Newhouser and the Tigers prevailed over Feller in this game that was played on the last day of the season. In 1946 Feller's 348 K's tied Rube Waddell's 1904 AL record of 348 K's. Note: Many years later Waddell's record was changed to 349 K's upon closer review of early baseball box scores. This 349 K record stood until Nolan Ryan set the MLB record in 1973 with 383 strikeouts.

I also stumbled onto a really interesting pair of game used baseball cleats from Cardinals no-hit pitcher Bud Smith. In 2001 Bud Smith joined the very short list of rookie pitchers that were lucky enough to pitch a no-hitter. Perhaps some of you may recall in 2002 one of Bud Smith's teammates, fellow no-hit pitcher Darryl Kile, died of a massive heart attack in his mid-30's while he was asleep in his hotel in Chicago in July. These game used Bud Smith cleats from the 2002 season feature a huge tribute to his fallen teammate. On one cleat a large 57 (Darryl Kile's uni #) and on the other cleat a large "DK" have been written in thick silver sharpie. These are a nice addition to my no-hitter collection.
One no-hit pitcher's tribute to another...

As a side note, Bud Smith's career was very short (less then 2 full seasons) and he never made it back to the bigs after the 2002 season.

Oh yeah, the price on the game used cleats was pretty OK too- $30. Nice!

Nice pick up Kenny. That's either a really big basket or pint size rocking chair. At first I thought I know people were smaller many years ago but that chair looks pretty narrow. When I saw the basket I realized ain't nobody sitting in that chair!! Cool piece.

Default GR Chicks pin...

I was very happy to pick up this 1.5" pin a couple weeks ago, as it goes well with my GR Chicks pennant. Anything AAGPBL besides programs and the actual baseballs they used seem to be extremely rare.

From MEARS' huge supply of game-used baseballs, I picked this one up. Thought it was worth a shot, ball was supposedly pitched by Jim Bunning. What made me pull the trigger was that his opponent (and winning pitcher) was Bob Gibson!

From the Lombardi jacket forward, ALL your pick ups are killer! Sure wish I had something to share.

[QUOTE=pariah1107;1378643]The Northwest African American Museum recently sent me this 3 feet X 5 feet blow-up of a ca. 1909 Roslyn, Washington PC. This was at the NAAM's "Pitch Black : A History of Black Baseball in Washington", it was near the Amateur Roslyn miners items. NAAM curator Chieko Phillips sent it as a thank you for research contributed to the exhibit. She's the greatest!!!

This image is from the collection of another member, and the copy I recently picked up is dwarfed in the upper right hand corner. It's ridiculously large, any ideas on how to display this item? Heavy bond paper.

Ty that's a very nice photo Roslyn looks the same today

Very true! I wish the old grandstand (built in 1923) was still there, but it was salvaged for building material in the 1950's. Here's an image ca. 1925 of what was described as "the best ballpark between Seattle and Spokane". Roslyn was baseball crazy in the 1920's-30's. The grandstand held close to 3,000 in a town of less than 2,000 people.
