that's pretty crazy to have these! you must be really very happy. this is a big part of why to me historically he exists similar to satchel paige as a myth and a memory -- it becomes a question of documentation as illumination. we have to work with stories, news clippings; piecing together history with players like cy becomes a question of illuminating the darkness of what was with what little we know or don't know about the truth of his times to cast his figure into clarity
