San Francisco newspaper from July 18, 1941. Not sure if you can see it in the compressed photo, but in the top left corner, Joe DiMaggio "blames" Ken Keltner for stopping some nice hit streak he had going. :)
Thanks to Ben for pointing this auction out to me. I also got the paper from the day before, where ironically, all they seem to care about is Joe facing Bob Feller the day after, and whether Bob can stop the streak. |
Interesting scorecard circa 1900 for a benefit game that was played to help the family of a player who had been killed during a game just 12 days earlier. Joseph Marsh was struck in the head as he batted in a game on September 3, 1900. He died 10 minutes later. This scorecard is dated in pencil on the back September 15, 1900.

1948 World Series Pass for the Hollenden Hotel. It was the luxury hotel at the time in Cleveland. I do not know what the goings on at the time were that required a pass to the hotel.
The back of the pass is blank but it measures 4.5 inches by 3 inches larger than i imagined when purchasing it. Andy |
1931 Louisville Lathe Bat

My Maine player collection continues to grow with this addition. A lathe bat for Del Bissonette, who used to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers, I think.
This bat is also stamped with the H&B logo, which is, I am told, very rare in a lathe bat. But I am not a lathe bat expert (in fact, I had to ask the seller what the little nubs were before I bought it), so I have no idea. Still, a pretty cool little piece of history. |
