Sometime after my grandparents died I went up in the attic and found these schedules from my Grandfathers liquor store, which was right across the street from the entrance to Tullar Field.
In 1942 Wellsville joined the old Class D PONY (PA, Ontario, NY) Lg as an affiliate of the NY Yankees. Mgr was Al Monchak and on that team was Jerry Coleman (SS) and Charlie Silvera (OF). They both made it to Yankee Stadium in 1949 & 1948 respectively.
Not a big value item but a nice remembrance of my Grandpa, who was a diehard Yankee fan who never missed a Wellsville game from 1942 right up until the early '50's, when he used to take me along.
