I'm happy to pick this up from a fellow member. The canvas banner measures 47" x 29". Laraine Day was a movie actress who appeared in 40 movies from 1937 to 1960. Also included was the microphone she used to interview players and a signed copy of her book. What follows is from her obit:

Because of her 13-year marriage to Hall of Fame manager Leo Durocher, Day was known as "the first lady of baseball." Day married Durocher in 1947, after divorcing her first husband, musician Ray Hendricks. Day and Durocher were divorced in 1960.

In 1950, Day started a 15-minute TV pregame show on WPIX-TV, interviewing players of Durocher's New York Giants at the Polo Grounds.

"She had her room under the stands, next to the dugout, with all the lights and the TVcameras, and she'd bring a ballplayer every day to interview them," recalled Herman Franks, a Giants coach under Durocher from 1949 to 1955.

"She was pretty knowledgeable," Franks said from his Salt Lake City home. "I never heard of a lady doing [ballplayer interviews] like that. Today, it's quite common . . . but in those days, it was unknown for ladies to be talking about sports."

Day often traveled with the team to spring training. In 1952, she spent some time on the road during the regular season - an experience that produced a memoir of her baseball life, Day With the Giants.

Franks remembered spring training in 1951, when the Giants had their camp in St. Petersburg, Fla. (swapping their usual Arizona location with the Yankees for a season), and Day and Durocher hosted nightly dinner parties at their beach house.

"We used to play charades," Franks said. "Leo would be one captain, her the other. We got into some pretty fierce battles with that."

Each season the Giants would play exhibition games on the West Coast, and Day would play hostess at her Hollywood home - bringing ballplayers together with such movie stars as Danny Kaye, George Raft and Irene Dunne.

"The ballplayers enjoyed meeting all these actors and actresses," Franks said.


I think many of us love the process of learning about our memorabilia. Because of this pickup, I'm now versed in the history of Laraine Day, WPIX-TV and her "salt shaker" Electro-Voice microphone. The Sports Illustrated is on its way, to complete the collection.

IF ANY OF YOU DETECTIVES COULD FIND A PERIOD PHOTO OF LARAINE WITH HER MICROPHONE OR BANNER, I WOULD BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!

And finally, from another Net54 member , this art deco clock. The clock measures 9" tall x 8" wide.

I could use help on this in two areas: 1) Does anyone know anything about "(The) Willie Mays Show"? I don't think it was TV; could be radio or could be something that never came to fruition. 2) In the base of the clock is a "transformer" marked International Register Co. (now, Intermatic). There are no wires to the movement, so I'm wondering how this works . I haven't plugged in in yet.

edit: disregard question #2. This is a "Jefferson Golden Hour" clock. I found all kinds of info online.

I think my October budget is shot.

Those are both spectacular NY Giants adds, especially envious of the Day stuff as I have some of her and Durocher stuff this would go great with.

Default E 35 Hanna Batrite 36"

First time posting, thanks for the info Leon. Recently picked this bat up and would like to hear everyone's opinion. It doesn't say Ty Cobb at the barrel end
Like the one that recently sold. It's 36" long and weighed 31.65 ounces when I got it and now it's down to 29.55 ounces. Live in NorCal and wondering how I can keep it from loosing anymore weight. Any advice would be appreciated. It's hand turned, heavy use ,bat rack marks and very light remains of tape on the handle are left. I'll attempt to post multiple pics. Thanks

I added a pin and these five color slides to my 1971 Pirate collection. The quality is low as I scanned the slides rather than generating prints. The Clemente was shot during Game 2 of the 71 World Series in Baltimore. The Murtaugh image was used for the cover of The Sporting News and was shot by Emmons. Fellow member Joe (icollectDCsports) directed me to the pin. Thanks Joe! Based on the colors and the sellers San Francisco location I believe it is attributable to the 1971 NLCS.

So glad you won the pin, Mike! When I saw it, I immediately figured it to be from the '71 NLCS and thought of your collection.

Not in the same league as the great items you guys always post, but I picked up this cigarette case from Joe DiMaggio's Grotto from Andy Sandler's last auction. Neat little item, though not de facto baseball, other than it was Joe's place.

Pronounced Fewks.

There was a thread like that a while ago, though his name was not included.

Mike was referring to the much publicized hatred that Ruth had for the Braves owner. Who promised Ruth that he would be groomed as manager of the team. When the Babe realized that Fuchs only hired him to increase attendance he said he felt embarrased and treated like a side show. Ruth Homered on Judge Fuchs day his 709th. Two more in the next two months then 3 on his final game..

If that Gehrig is smaller (about 5x4) than it is probably one the Yankee team issues that was issued in the late 1940's. At one time I had the original envelope they were mailed in and it was from the early 1950's. If this is the wrong size than disregard what I said. We see the DiMaggio, Gehrig taking a swing in his warm-up jacket and the shot of Gehrig and Ruppert at the water cooler sometimes as well. We sell them as such (1940's re-strikes) but there is no definitive evidence that they were not issued over a period of time starting in the late 1930's and continuing through the 1940's and early 1950's. I have a stack of others as well and they are all late 1930's players, but the look and feel match up with images issued immediately after the end of WWII.

Craigslist pick up today. Pach brothers photography. Not sure where it came from.
Book or magazine perhaps. Maybe someone knows more about it than me. Need to get it matted and framed.
