September pickups

[bobfreedman]

I picked up these two pennants today. I am not a "pennant guy" but love the graphics on the A's piece and I have never seen the Dodgers pennant before either. I have talked to a few people and no one has ever seen it either.

Crazy cool A's pennant. Congrats, Bob.

I have been watching this for a while now, and I finally picked it up for my Joe Torre collection.

Yard sale finds from this morning. Does anybody know the year of the Yankee photo?

Ron,

You sure go to great yard sales and flea markets!

Got these two snapshots from Huggins & Scott last month. Taken July 4th, 1906, Athletics vs. Highlanders at Columbia Park. It was a doubleheader with Rube Waddell beating Jack Chesbro in game 1 and Chief Bender losing to Al Orth (aka The Curveless Wonder) in game 2. Even in the 3x3 snapshots I was fairly sure it was Waddell at the plate---probably talking it over with catcher Schrecengost just before the start of the game---but the scan at high res makes that familiar posture fairly unmistakable. Rube!

The Highlanders player with the flag (at left in the high res crop) is a nice detail as well...

Greg, thank you. I try to sniff them out every weekend. Most times there is nothing there.

Where did you see an auction of an Early Wynn 300 win ball?
Never seen one of those up before.
Very cool lineup card.

I recently picked up this original photo of Bob Feller and catcher Bob Hayes in the locker room after Feller's 2nd career no-hitter on April 30, 1946 at NYY.
Frank Hayes provided the only offense in the 1-0 no-hitter, by hitting a dramatic HR late in the game in support of Feller.

Rapid Robert always credited his 2nd no-hitter as being his best due to the strength of the Yankees lineup.

In 2014 I picked up a game used ball from Feller's 2nd no-hitter and posted pictures of it. The ball was signed and inscribed by both Feller and catcher Frank Hayes. Combine these two items and my no-hitter ticket stub from this game and it makes for a pretty neat trio of baseball history...

Nice work Scott!
