From the LOTG auction, a Conlon Roxey Roach in NYAL 1910 uni !
Note crossed out address and use of Evening Telegram stamp. Maybe original stamp was from 1910 when Roxey joined the Yankees and then Conlon got a request for the photo in 1912 when he was sold when he went back to Jersey City, Balt or Wash (all in the same year...)? Roach also makes an appearance on the 1911 Sporty team post card.

Thanks Mike, I loved the 1979 Pirates as a kid so that year jerseys are my favorites.

I'm really happy to have added this neat piece of history to my advanced no-hitter collection last night.

Many of you may possibly be aware that on June 23rd, 1917, Babe Ruth was the starting pitcher in a historic game at Fenway that was one for the ages.
Ruth got in an argument with home plate umpire Brick Owens for calling four consecutive pitches balls to begin the game, allowing an immediate walk of Nats leadoff hitter Roy Morgan. Lots of arguing back and forth between Ruth and Brick Owens and the Babe proceeded to take a swing at Owens. This immediately got Ruth tossed from the game.

Without even warming up, Red Sox RHP Ernie Shore came into the game in relief. Roy Morgan immediately tried to steal 2nd, but was thrown out.
Shore famously proceeded to get the next 26 batters out and hurling perfect ball in relief. Until 1991 this game was, in fact, declared a "perfect game".
In 1991, the rules surrounding no-hitters and perfect games changed and this game became a no-hitter in spite of it's unusual place in baseball history.

Ernie Shore, a famous North Carolina resident and Sheriff of Forsyth County for many years, was honored by the Governor of NC in 1972 for this great achievement in baseball history.

This award came by way of Jan Shore, the oldest daughter of Ernie Shore.
It's a perfect fit for my collection & happy to have it.

I recently purchased this matted photo of a lady doing a windup or catching a ball type of pose in uniform. The matte back is dated 1897.

I love early baseball items tied to women. Especially pre 1900. They have so much character. So when I saw this It definitely fit the bill!

This arrived yesterday in the mail. Figure it is mid-20's. No markings as to a maker. Not really a glove person but the condition and that it was a HOF'er enticed me to buy. Thanks.
