I picked this game up in April and would like to share it with you - I collect games from time to time but this one is in exceptional condition and that's what got me so excited!

Danny Mac Fayden's Stove League Baseball Game



He played in the bigs for 17 yrs; rookie year was 1926 - came up with the Red Sox. He played in 1 game and lost.

In 1927 - he went 5 and 8 - his best year with the sox was 1935 where he went 16 and 12.

He was traded to the Yanks in 1932 - and his best year was '33 when he went 7 and 3.

He must have had some popularity to have a game made in his likeness but nothing unusual to report?

Now the game! It's pristine!!!

Game pieces in original bag: this game has never been played!



Note: did a little detective work - usually these bags are shut with staples - the scotch tape got me thinking?

Yes, it was invented 1929 - production 1930 - so I date the production of the game about a year or two from the copyright - no big deal.

Thanx for viewing and Happy Memorial Day!
