June Pickups

Nice pickup Scott! So nice to see great penmanship from a bygone era. Today's player scrawls are almost painful to look at.

Thanks Mike! I couldn't agree more.

Info deleted because signature is not that of the pitcher Walter Thornton.
Oh well, the search continues...

I was able to scratch yet another real toughee off my early no-hit pitcher want list: Walter Thornton. Although he lived to 1960, Thornton was definitely "off-the-grid" for many of his later years and his signature is not available.

This is incredible, do you have Addie Joss? On a related note, sister was in Lexington, KY and her Uber driver turned out to be Joe Cowley.

Hi Taz,
I do not have Addie & he's not on my list because of scarcity, $$$$ and difficulty authenticating.

Joe Cowley the Uber driver, I love it.
Did you know that Joe Cowley never won another game after pitching his no-hitter? Crazy!
