Day 47 (February 16, 2020 – 047)
Rawlings put out a Trade Digest for companies that distributed their athletic equipment. The one pictured today is a Rawlings Trade Digest for Distributors of Rawlings Athletic Equipment dated February of 1965 (VOL. 8, NO. 2). The Trade Digest pictures the ’64 MVP’s Brooks Robinson and Ken Boyer on the cover (in their suits with a Rawlings glove in hand) with the statement “who’s on third?” I don’t see these type of items very often and I would think are relatively scarce. There’s another example of Robinson and Boyer pictured on a Trade Digest as well, but don’t have that particular example.

After the 1964 MVP awards for Brooks and Boyer there were several magazines that featured the two on the cover in 1965. The following is one of them:
