Posted this in the Negro League thread, but thought I'd put it in here as well - I just received this small autograph album today. Has all semi-pro Brooklyn Bushwick signatures from 1944, including a fella named Gene Walsh, who was actually Gene Hermanski using an alias. The girl who owned the album included a few newspaper clippings and was very detail oriented in her book, marking the position and uniform number of each of the Bushwicks. Very interesting to me because I'm a Bushwicks collector, but on a page in the middle of a bunch of unused sheets was this one of the 1944 New York Cubans! Players are:
Rogelio Linares, 1b
Jose Vargas, cf
Gil Garrido, ut
Louis Louden, c
Hector Rodriguez, 3b
Rodolfo Fernandez, p
Dave Barnhill, p
Ameal Brooks, c & lf
Bill Anderson, p
Showboat Thomas, 1b
Claro Duany, lf
