Attachment 84624

Carl Hubbell - 1936

Attachment 84625

Daffy Dean - 1934

Attachment 84626

I was very pleased to obtain this original 1936 press photo via eBay earlier this week.

It's a shot of DiMaggio, Tony Lazzeri, Dick Bartell and Frank Gabler at a San Francisco Seals exhibition game in early November 1936, not long after the World Series between these competing players for the Yankees and the Giants.

Not a great shot of DiMaggio but still a photo of him from 1936 and back in SF after his first year for the Yankees and, personally, a nice item to add to my growing Lazzeri photo collection.

Not sure why but I seem to be on a particular run of DiMaggio photos at present - all from the late 1930s, mainly 1936 or 1937.

Mystery HOF'er
 

This is cropped from a larger photo I purchased. It's a HOF'er - any guesses?

This was just too much fun not to do.

Hank Greenberg?

Nope.

Thorpe?

Nope. It isn't going to be easy, but there is at least one clue in the picture.

Walter Johnson?

Scott,
What is the clue you were referring to?

Is he wearing an umpires cap?

His jersey. In retrospect, I guess that's obvious.

1914 Ty Cobb. Scorecard of the World Series A's vs Braves. Nice shape on this one.

Ruth a barnstormin
 

1940 Barnstormin Program Scorecard

Great barnstorming program...can we see the lineups? :)

I picked this up on eBay today. There are a number of other 1914 issues remaining from the same dealer in case anyone is interested. Does anyone have a sense of what a copy of Sporting Life from that period typically sells for today?

Lucky Find!!
 

My wife and I went antiquing on Sunday and stopped by an antique mall in Hagerstown MD. There was a cabinet with something’s my wife was interested in and on the bottom shelf in the back of the cabinet I saw this. I have seen these before and I saw there was a photo on here last week about movie props. There was also one that sold on E-bay recently for a high price. I jumped on this and went home the big winner.

Great game!

+1 Nice pickup! :)

Spirits of St. Louis Pennant

Nothing great but never seen either before. 1976 Wichita Aeros hat radio and Ralph Winegarner mini bat that came from his family.

Thankyou Don!.. I can die now!

That is an incredible pennant.

So thats where that amazing pennant ended up. If you got the Dough, you can play in the show.

Scott, I'm just a meager blue-collar man. No cash, was a swap only. Happily, this thing will hang in a beantown man cave, for life.

Nice trade! - So is the seller happy with your wife? ;)

I guess "swap" is an amorous term nowadays. Yes Paul, He was ecstatic, well... 'til the third day.


*Incidentally, she's my Everything. Thirty year anniv in a few months!

wanted this ring for a long time. It's a player ring.

The babe ;)
