Here's a photo of the Naval Sub Base baseball team from the Service League that featured Yogi Berra. Games were played at Cassini Young Field in New London, CT. Certainly not as awesome as playing in Hawaii!

I like it Derek! Sweet!

Jeff, sorry I haven't replied to this earlier, the start of school has me almost overwhelmed. Here is Phillips' uniform from those games.

I'd love to see pics of your WWII collection sometime!

This is a fantastic piece! I'd love to see more details of the jersey - tags, embroidered name, etc.!

1945 envelope from Duke Snider to Branch Rickey. I traced the envelope back to the original letter which recently sold at auction. The letter that duke wrote was to inform Mr. Rickey that he wouldn’t be able to play for the Dodgers during the 46 season due to service responsibility.

If anyone knows who bought the letter...would love to get in touch with the buyer.

That's pretty cool! Interesting that he stamped the enveloped when postage was free for service members when sent from active, non-training units.

Have you attempted to reach out to the buyer to see if offers would be entertained?
