December autograph pickups

[Klrdds]

Taz that is a great piece.
I had several Newt Allen autographs in my collection and he always in my experience added nice little notes to his responses like many Negro League players did . Unfortunately while Newt may make the HOF of nice guys I don't feel that he will end up in the Baseball HOF because there are many other deserving candidates ahead of him in my opinion.

You are probably correct, but it was a small investment compared to say my Dahlen investment. At this point, I am not sure if any players pre-1950 will ever make the HOF. The veterans committee barely votes on them and when they do, they don't like to let anyone new into their boys club. Yet I digress.

Taz I agree with you totally . It is a sad fact but if anything will happen I believe it will be in 2020 and that could set the tone for the future of the pre 1950 players getting into the HOF.

New addition to my women in baseball collection. Althoough the AAGPBL ceased to exist in 1954, a team of top players from the league continued to barnstorm for several years thereafter. This is a signed team photo of the 1956 incarnation of that barnstorming team.

Not my typical autograph pickup, but was excited to get my hand on this 1951 gpc. "Red" enjoyed a single game at the major league level. The date was April 24th 1937, and the sox were playing their home opener against the Bronx bombers... Their were 7 hall of famers in the lineup that day: Gehrig, Lazzeri, dickey, ferrell, Doerr, grove, and Cronin. The game was a see-saw battle that went into extra innings. Daughters got the call to pinch run in the 10th for Rick Ferrell... He ran the bases successfully and scored the 5th run for the home team, but it was enough to get the win.

Daughters never got another shot... 1 game, 0 at bats, but the tale of a lifetime: scoring an extra inning run against the yanks in a home opener!

Just don't come across his signature too often... Happy to add it to my collection
