Vandy and Basketball HOF'er Benny Borgmann
I just picked up this sweet circa 1938 vintage signed photo of Johnny Vander Meer and Basketball HOF'er Benny Borgmann. Vandy and Borgmann both hailed from the same area in NJ and apparently knew each other quite well.
This photo originated from the personal estate of Benny Borgmann who starred in professional basketball and also played for many years as a baseball middle infielder and manager in the minor leagues. Borgmann was also a pro basketball player and original Celtic, leading the American Basketball League in scoring 4 times (1926-1927, 1928-1929, 1929-1930, 1930-1931). He was elected to the Naismith Hall of Fame in 1961 Borgmann passed away in November, 1978. Last edited by Scott Garner; 10-08-2015 at 04:30 AM.
