You're right, Jimmy - that's the attitude to have. I forget that too often.
Here's a Bain of Opening Day, 1909 at the Polo Grounds. "04/15/1909 - Before an Opening Day crowd of 30,000 at New York, Red Ames pitches a no-hitter for nine innings against the Brooklyn Superbas, surrenders a hit with one out in the tenth, then loses the game 3-0 in the 13th. The Giants outfield has no putouts." |

Richard, I LOVE that shot of McGraw from 1913. That man had such an emotive face, even if he always seemed combative. I can't wait to put that face on canvas...
Bravo! |

On a note, personally, I am going through a lot of crap right now, and having got back w one of my best friends, who is involved in the hobby, and reading/seeing all that you guys post on here, and your collections, its a huge positive. Thank you for everything, and keep it up.
|
Scott - don't let the bastards get you down.
You are one of the good guys here, exposing bogus autographs and reporting them. Keep up the good work. -- |
Thanks, tho I just have a casual knowledge, not like you and others.
I mainly meant personal stuff, aside from here, and how this forum, for the most part..haha, is a great release, w all the knowledge, and great cards and autos and memorabilia people discuss/display. |

Here's Carl Hubbell's jacket, in the current Heritage auction ending April 23. His number "11" is penned in vintage ink in the collar.

One of the most sought after pieces in the hobby is this 1951 Ticket Stub from the third and final game of the 1951 N.L. playoffs (thanks goes out to Richard Simon). This ticket entitled it's owner admission into the Polo Grounds to bare witness to Baseball's most incredible moment... "The shot heard 'round the world".
Also a nice little Giants pocket Schedule from '51 as well. Attachment 20941Attachment 20942 And a pair of vintage original TYPE I photographs. One very famous image, as Thompson connects with the ball that will forever change his life. And moments later, Bobby kissing his now historic bat... Attachment 20943Attachment 20944 |

Love these little 4x6 Bain shots, and the content of this one was too great to pass up.
Marquard with his son on the dugout steps, early in the 1918 season. The scan of this one is terrible - the clarity and sharpness is hard to beat in person. |
