Great stuff already posted here! Beautiful Clemente bat Mike. I can't imagine the pieces you gave up to add such a thing but it seems it was well worth it!

Running your hands over those grooves must be as close to time traveling as you can get. I suppose that's why we collect memoribilia. Getting as close to the time and players as possible and honoring the history.

Here are my favorite pick ups:


1950 Carribean Series official scorecards with the first games being autographed by the starting 9 including Willard Brown, Vic Power, Luis Olmo, and Dan Bankhead.





A scored program and ticket of Satchel Paige's three hit shutout on August 20th, 1948. It set the record for the most attended night game with 78,382. I'm thrilled the program also notes this.

This Doby, Miņoso, and Easter snapshot is from 1951 spring training. These three were forced to live apart from the team in Arizona. I love how happy they are in the photo despite still having to endure segregation outside of baseball.
