I've shown this before, Game used ball from Niekro's 300th win signed and inscribed to Phil from John Cerutti, who was making his first Major League start against Phil that day. Unfortunately, the inscription has faded before I acquired it, but is slightly darker in person.

First Panel Reads:

Phil, To the man I had to face in my first ML start I was going for #1 you for #300 Oct 6, 1985

2nd Panel:

The "Hall of Famer" won.
All the best
John J Cerutti

Does anyone have any early 20's photos of the Babe? Not even necessarily Type 1's, but just cool photos of him from this period. Most of the photos I see of him are from the late 20's or early 30's. Rarely do you see a photo of him from his colossal 1920/21 seasons which are often considered his greatest.

Thanks, Wolverine.

My Uncle Sam had that hanging in his den in Pontiac Michigan many many years ago and when we visited, I always looked at it.

When he passed, my Aunt Eileen, remembering that, asked that it be given to me.

He was a huge Mickey Mantle, NY Yankees, and an all around huge baseball fan that I am sure he had other things/pics/memorabilia stashed/stored away but unfortunately, with me being so young and being so far away, I never had the chance nor was afforded an opportunity to go over any of his stuff.

Even with all of my Ruth Red Sox, Ruth Conlons, Ruth RED Sox Conlons ect. . I have to pick this masterpiece of Gehrig (by Conlon). This to me just says ... "That's Gehrig". It is my favorite image of Lou and one of my favorite baseball portraits period. It is the only confirmed type 1 and I am very lucky to own it.
