July Pickups

[the 'stache]

Oh, and one more point to make here. The original Baltimore Orioles, who went on to become the New York Yankees, were, of course, not the Baltimore Orioles of today. Where did they come from?

Well, today's Baltimore Orioles started out as the Milwaukee Brewers (1894-1901) of the old minor Western League. The team then moved to St. Louis, where they were the Browns from 1902-1953. In 1954, the franchise then moved to Baltimore, and became the Orioles of today.

So, Urban Shocker's first team, the Yankees, started out as the Baltimore Orioles. And his second team, the St. Louis Browns, eventually became the Baltimore Orioles, but of course, not the same Baltimore Orioles that eventually became the New York Yankees.

Got that?

And today's Milwaukee Brewers had nothing to do with either team. They started out as the Seattle Pilots in 1969. They played one season in Seattle where they went 64-98. They then moved to Milwaukee in 1970.

Picked up this Burke Signed Jimmy Foxx postcard last night in the Goodwin Auction. Went way cheaper than I thought so can't complain.

Well, Bill...I WAS going to say that 'we' consider any team north of the Mason-Dixon line to be Yankees anyway, but, then, upon reading your history lesson, I decided y'all might already know about inbreeding...lol

I had 20 type cards left on my Cleveland list. Just won the Phil Bedgood Diaz Cig card. CROSS ONE OFF!!!

Look out National here I come: Get out that Joe Gordon Royal dessert, your Breisch-Williams Naps, and your Elmer Flick stuff.

This is one of those finds I could only have dreamed of....only 4 Diaz Indians to go and the Hall of Famer gotten

11/15 Where are you Guy Morton, Pete Donohue and Allen Sothoran

I finally obtained the N43 card I wanted for my type collection at a price that seems reasonable via eBay. I prefer my type cards to be Washington players, or at least ballplayers who played for Washington at some time during their careers. "Honest" John Morrill (erroneously spelled Morrell on this card) was the player-manager for Washington for part of 1889. Now then, if I could only obtain a 1889 Old Judge card showing Morrill with Washington!

Jack, congrats on picking up all those very tough 1924 Diaz cards - I know you are ecstatic! Hope that I will shortly have similar good fortune!
Best,
Val

Awesome Jack! What a score! I was tempted to go after more Diaz, but I'm content w/ my two! Good luck with your last four!
