Old Puts
Thanks Jerry and Ben on the Old Puts!
Ben, The CDV of Israel Putnam's grandson is really cool!!!!! Israel was a French and Indian War and Revolutionary War Veteran....Story goes is that he earned the "OLD PUT" nickname around the age of 24 when everybody in his town was having their animals terrorized by a big, bad wolf. His friends lowered him down into the den of the wolf by his feet tied to a rope, and he didn't have any fear and killed the wolf all by himself with his hands and buckshot. He "Held Put" as they say, and they nicknamed him Israel "Old Put".
Not necessarily baseball history, but American History!
Phil, especially love the BLUE Kling "Old Put" that you own!!!! I will keep my eye out for those 2 needed E98s!
Happy New Year everybody!!!!! Almost at least!
