This would have to be one of my all time favorites! It's a Ruth signed photo that I picked up from a board member. Love the "Miami style" casual photo of a "late in life"Ruth.

Nice,

Here he is with another Babe, same year, similar shirt. I used to own Babe Didrikson's pool cue - what I would give to have that back.

Hard to pick just one. This Ty Cobb letter to Zach Wheat is one of my favorite items. They played together on the 27 A's.

Kenny, My Cobb letter is dated 5/11/59 with an arrow next to the Nevada address stating: 'After May 15th'. He must have gotten held up in Atherton, as he was still there on May 30 when he wrote yours.

I have an actuall reel to reel tape recording of many of the 1969 Cubs team doing PSA for Paul Powell and drivers safety recorded by my grandmother who was working for the Secretary of State in Illinois. Have never been able to hear it as I do not have reel to reel capability but supposedly has my grandmother telling Santo he blew his lines.

Do have the actual lines typed out on Secretary of State of Illinois letterhead.

Default My favorite!

Found this on line many years ago as just a negative when a company in town was cleaning out the files. Asked myself if it really could be and when it got developed--yes it was... Had it autographed before he passed away in 2009. My father--circa 1947!

My most cherished item is a jersey that my dad wore as a kid when he played for his "town team" in the late 1940's. That FRENCHVILLE jersey hangs proudly between my SI posters of Bill Mazeroski and Gene Alley in my man cave.
