This one is from Lou Gehrig just months before he died and is certainly one of my favorite pieces from my collection. What a Great Man he truly was...

Wow! That's great! He had hope to the end.
I have a baseball telegram too, I'll have to dig it out and scan it. Its from one Hall Of Famer to another. |
An inquiring newspaper writer once sent a telegram to Cary Grant before his birthday that said "How old Cary Grant?" Grant sent a telegram back that said, "Old Cary Grant fine. How you?"

Just picked this up...
Attachment 6165Attachment 6166 Attachment 6167Attachment 6168 Could have been from Joe Schultz who was a coach in the bigs for many years and the Pilots Manager during their lone season in Seattle. You might remember him as Jim Bouton's foul mouthed Manager in the classic book "Ball Four". Joe's favorite word was: Sh*tfu*k or Fu*ksh*t. |
