Years ago there was this seller on eBay based in Canada who somehow acquired all of these original Horner photos that at one time had been part of either a giant team display or maybe just a huge all encompassing league display. All of them were cut into small little postcard sized pieces. At one time I had three of them, but now I'm left with only these two. I especially cherish the Beville, as this photo was taken in 1903 as a member of the inaugural Yankee team:
The same seller also had a complete run of Rube Walberg's final out baseballs. I was able to snag one froma game in 1926 against Cleveland. I went after balls from games against the Yankees for like three weeks in a row and couldn't come out with any of them. Still feel really lucky to have a piece of history like this coming up on 100 years old from a major league game:
