1st Recollections of pre-war players
Posted By: J Levine
Mine was a little different. I remember hearing stories from my grandfather. My grandfather was a host at the racetracks here in Southern California. Both at Hollywood Park and Santa Anita. He would tell stories about certain players and how they would bet the horses, pick up the waitresses, and how they were tipping the porters, waiters and hosts. By the time I was in elementary school I had heard stories about both Meusel brothers, Gehrig, Allie Reynolds, Doerr, Grimm, Hartnett, etc. The first true vintage card I bought was the strip card depicting the Meusel brothers which I presented to my grandfather who was completely touched.
