Speaking of Chase, I have seen that Highlanders program before and always wondered why the artist drew him in a kilt. Obviously, the artist was playing up on what I guess is Chase's Irish heritage, but I always found it odd it would be put onto a baseball program.

I found this description from some early postcards that might explain the kilt.

These composite postcards of the 1911 New York Highlanders, 1911 Giants and 1910 Philadelphia A's comprise a unique series from The Sporty Postal Card Co. of Newark, NJ. These cards adhere to themes predominant in each team's positioning. NY manager Hal Chase is cast as the kilt - wearing leader of the team, a reference to The Gordon Highlanders, a British Army regiment recruited mainly from Scotland. A's owner

Great thread! So many great items. Here are a few of my Yankee items.


- 1949 Larry "Yogi" Berra All Star game bat from Brooklyn.

- 1933 Yankees vs As program. Babe Ruth hit 2 HRs that game off of Lefty Grove.

- Yankee Stadium Seats

A 4.5 ft section of Yankee Stadium bleacher seating. Removed after the 1973 season for the renovations made during 1974-75.

The seat looks light blue in the picture, but it is grey.

My ticket stubs and a couple of the photos I took at Dave Righetti's no-hitter on George Steinbrenner's birthday, 1983.

Those Yankee Stadium seats and bleacher bench are beautiful. I have always wanted to own Yankee Stadium seats.

YankeeFan, I was supposed to have been at Righetti's no no. Had tickets and everything, but got punished by my step dad for something really dumb. He was a real jerk and I disliked him even more after the game.

Beautiful Jimmy, I have long admired that autograph.

Bobby Murcer's autograph that I got on the Boardwalk at Seaside Heights NJ during the 1981 Baseball Strike. I met him at the shooting gallery and he asked me to make change for his dollar we were side by side, and then we talked about 10 minutes he was really nice.
