Here is the only known program from Jackie Robinson's all star tour which was done in the late fall of 1946 - just before he broke through in 47- the tour features a team made up of both negro leaguers and white minor leaguers from the montreal team. Probably the first time that an integrated team played a white team in a major league park

This is an original panoramic photo (8" x 21") of Mickey Mantle on his first pro team, the semi-pro Whiz Kids, from 1947 when he was 16 years old. Mantle and a few of the other players have signed the picture (the other sigs are barely legible). The condition is a bit rough because it is an original that belonged to one of the kids in the picture, Guy Crow, who was the bat boy (left end of the right bench). This may also be the first photo of Mantle associated with baseball as his high school yearbooks don't have baseball photos in them though who knows what is still in his family.

I've written about this before, but seems interesting to me. Worthy of a local hall of fame and depending on your point of view, not too far out of place in the real one.
