Favorite Jim Stinson autograph- Chick Fraser

It's really tough to pick one, because there have been many, but here are two...

This Brooklyn Dodgers dinner menu that was signed by 1903 no-hit pitcher Chick Fraser is certainly way up there.

I found finding Chick Fraser's autograph to be exceedingly tough, but Jim filled this hole with a terrific piece with eye appeal IMHO considering all the other Dodgers that signed the menu as well. Fraser happened to be in attendance because he was a scout for the Brooklyn Dodgers at the time that the dinner was held in 1934.

The second is a beautiful 1931 Lefty Grove fountain pen signed album page. This is a great example of Lefty's nicer variation of his signature with flourish.
HOF'er Lefty Grove certainly needs no introduction to this board, but he was arguably the greatest left-handed pitcher of all time (no slight to HOF Sandy Koufax intended).
It's certainly one of my favorite signatures in my personal collection and it came from Jim.
