Dave, Awesome Pinson bat what an under rated player he was. Are the others also 1961 world series bats? I know those are hard to come by.

Ron, nice Cano judging by the ball marks it certainly couldn't be from this season:rolleyes:

Over the last four decades I've kept an eye peeled for all-original jerseys from that time period - to little avail. Fortunately, and very humbly, lucked out on this one earlier and recently framed it. It's a fantastic 1968 powder blue road (two year style) and all original (numbers, nob, tag etc).

:rolleyes:If you have or know anyone that may have original White Sox gamers from the period and possibly interested in selling or trading, I'd sure like to hear from you.

Thank you
Bob :)

I've always liked this image and finally found one in pretty remarkable shape.
I had it custom framed with a copy of an original snapshot that I own of the celebration that occurred after Vandy's 2nd consecutive no-hitter on June 15th, 1938- the 1st night game at Ebbets Field.

The caption below the image reads:
"Johnny Vander Meer, No-Hit King"
Below that it says:
"The Cincinnati southpaw's feat of pitching two consecutive no-hit games against Boston and Brooklyn set an all-time major league record. He is 23, 6 ft. tall, weighs 190 asnd calls Midland Park, NJ his home town."

Check it out...

Scott,

Extremely well done. Colors are so rich an vibrant for what was largely a black and white world at the time.

That piece is awesome! I think it's really cool to find the newspaper type magazines and this one appears to be in remarkable shape.

Thanks for sharing...

I am not quite sure what my plans are for this yet? I may restore and mount somehow? Thoughts?

You can name your size (H X L X W) as they're custom-made. They are crystal clear, yet affordable. I've had 7-8 of these made with great results. There's another similar company out there which you can Google as well. It would look great displayed this way!

Nice! How'd you modify it, out of curiosity?

This is an official 7x9 press photo from the 1948 Olympics. It is the medal ceremony for the weightlifting in the light heavyweight class. The gold medal winner is Stanley Stanczyk of the United States. The silver medalist, standing on the left, is Harold Sakata, also of the United States. Best known as "Odd Job" in the James Bond movie 'Goldfinger'. I got this in a small lot of 1948 Olympic photos out of England.
