Nice collection. Thanks for sharing.

So that's what a focused collection looks like? Very nice.

Very nice collection indeed.

Great collection. Here is one of Zach Wheat when he played for the Millers. This is Zach and his son in 1928.

Thanks everyone for the great response. A forum member on here helped me immensely over the last year - selling me a few treasures out of his collection.

Kenny - great photograph! Thank you for posting! I would enjoy seeing other items (game used, unique photos, memorabilia) in others collection related to the Minneapolis Millers & St. Paul Saints should anyone want to share!

My great great uncle played for the St. Paul Saints in 1919 and 1920 in between stints with the Yankees. He was an outfielder and was one of the team batting leaders during those years. His name was Elmer Miller. Definitely some very cool memorabilia displayed here.

1921-24 Gavvy Cravath Hillerich & Bradsby Game Used Bat

I recently acquired one of the toughest Millers bats on my list. 1921-24 H&B Gavvy Cravath (NL home run champion). Cravath was one of baseball's top power hitters of the dead-ball era, in the seven years from 1913 to 1920 he led the National League in home runs six times. He's the guy who had the home run record before Babe Ruth came along. Special thank you to Brendan (BPM0014) for helping me land this bat.

This is amazing! I've give up body parts for something like this! Congrat's on your p/u.

Here's a pic of photo I've had in my collection for a while: 1949 Wright Studios - St. Paul Saints team photo featuring HOFer Walter Alston, 8.5 " X 15"

Can't help but share this fantastic style match to the famous 1959 Junior World Series photo featuring Fidel Castro.

Awesome jersey! And I'm glad you enjoy the Cravath bat!

I found this Cuban newsreel on YouTube of the Havana Sugar Kings vs. Minneapolis Millers in the 1959 Junior World Series! Does anyone know how to extract a clip like this from YouTube onto a disc? I would love to have this video for my collection.

Watch clip here: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WJAehLwu2aw

Ironically, you can catch Ed Sadowski in multiple frames batting and fielding wearing what likely is this uniform.

Interesting photo. In looking at him in this picture, not able to figure at that time, the evil he was to be.
Thanks for the photo.

It's a shame that pinbacks are pretty much a thing of the past .

How about that set of 1939 autographed photos that were recently auctioned? I collect early Ted Williams, but couldn't fork out that much dough when I only wanted this one:
