Neat autograph "Find" by a friend of mine
I am a Pastor in NC and the grandfather of one of my church member's passed recently. The story goes his grandpa was in minor leagues in the 40's and never made it to the bigs. Failure and life in general drove him to drinking and he wasted just about all he had. His life ended with only a single wide trailer to his name.
While going through the trailer my buddy and his wife found two programs from games in the mid-fifties that contained numerous autographs. He is planning on having it framed. thought you might like to see it

Nice! The only one I recognize is the Slaughter, who else is present?

Thats the ones I could tell in person.
There were a couple we could not make out. All are signed in pencil. The Ted Williams does look different than most I had ever seen. With his grandpa not being around it is impossible to know if he saw Williams sign it or what. Quote:

Nice find , Ellis Kinder is a bit of a toughie.
Someone could have just been playing an innocent joke signing Ted Williams name. I once bought a 1960's Football autograph album and the collector said the players passed it around to sign it and when it came back to him it had an autograph of JIM THORPE in it. __________________________ jim@stinsonsports.com
