Vander Meer personally owned items
Wow, 2014 is off to a terrific start for pickups!
Here are a few truly unique items that I recently acquired that came directly from Johnny Vander Meer's family estate: - Vander Meer's actual birth certificate - Vander Meer Honorable Discharge certificate from the US Navy in WWII - - Vander Meer 1945 US Navy Notice of Separation (lots of great stuff here!) - Johnny Vander Meer 1971 Old Timers Game (Philadelphia) Louisville Slugger Bat. This bat is massive in length (36") and weight. When I picked it up to swing it, I found it truly ironic and laughable that they would issue a bat that heavy to someone that was 20 years removed from his playing days. Babe Ruth himself would have had trouble swinging this bad boy!
