Bugs Raymond signature . . .
.
. I've heard the story about how, upon his release from the Giants, Bugs Raymond hung his jersey up in a local saloon with a sign advertising that he was now bartending there. But I also seem to recall that another story (not sure how accurate) stated that Raymond use to sign baseballs to trade for drinks. That seems to be a slightly-less-than-common currency used by other ballplayers. And quite possible the storyline survives, as the cast fades. But if true, such a signed ball would be worthy of a lengthly catalog narrative. Not my dream autograph, but one I would greatly enjoy the opportunity to view.
