It’s been a long time since my last flea market find. Picked up this 1950s Sam Mele game used bat this morning at the Flea Market!

Excellent find. You saved it from obscurity/ oblivion.

I picked up this old OAL Reach baseball from a local antiques dealer. The inscription reads, "Briggs Stadium, May 4, 1941, Foul ball by Priddy of the Yankees, Tigers vs. NY Yankees, 7th foul ball hit by him that day."

I looked up the box score and the date matches up. The Tigers won 10-1 with Bobo Newsom getting the win. Joe DiMaggio hit a double and started his 56 game streak 11 days later.

Matt
that is a GREAT item. But I'm pretty sure that it does not say that it is a foul ball. It says that it was a fowl ball. Maybe it hit a bird in mid-flight?

Really out of my collecting world...and so I have very little knowledge on these...but had to have these two being it was the Braves franchise.

I'm very happy that I was able to recently upgrade my HOF Jim Palmer no-hit ticket from 8/13/69 @ Baltimore.
Any ticket to this game is exceedingly scarce.

This full ticket to Palmer's no-hitter is the only one that I have ever seen in 45 years of collecting the theme.

As per my usual routine, I played "free Willie" and de-slabbed this beauty!

Awesome ticket Scott!
