January pickups

Don't know anything about this supplement, but I like it.

Haven't found any info on the interwebs yet, but need to put more effort into it.

On April 23, 1946 Bob Feller pitched his 2nd of 3 career no-hitters.
He always said this was by far the best one that he ever pitched.
The reason was obvious:
He pitched it against a dominant NY Yankees team stacked with great hitting team that included 3 HOF'ers: Joe DiMaggio, Bill Dickey and Joe Gordon.

Here is an original birds-eye photo that I just picked up of Rapid Robert pitching to Joe D. in what he viewed as his peak career moment on the mound.

A few small pickups arrived this week.

A few wire photos (I think two are Type 3) and a '38 World Series Stub.

New York Yankees vs. the St Louis Browns June 16, 1953: Browns win 3-1 over the Yanks. This was the final year of the St Louis Browns before the team moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles.

St Louis Browns at Chicago White Sox: Browns lose 0-5.

American League Representatives Meet: My guess is that this was at the 1954 All-Star Game which was held in Cleveland on that day (July 13, 1954).

1938 World Series Game 2: Yankees at Chicago Cubs. Lefty Gomez vs Dizzy Dean on the mound. Dizzy didn't have a great game - he gave up 3 HRs to Joe DiMaggio and Frank Crosetti. Gehrig and DiMaggio contributed 6 of 14 triples. Yankees win the game 6-3.

Two new Bob Feller 8x10 photos to add to my player collection:

1950s Wilson Advisory Staff Photo Bob Feller

1960s Sports Illustrated Premium Photo Bob Feller


I had not seen the SI photo before my purchase. This item is pretty beat up but its the first one I've seen so had to have it. Does anyone have any more information about this item? Are there other subjects? For what purpose was it produced? I am wondering if it may have been a 1960s Sports Illustrated subscription premium, or signing event premium. The inscription has a 1966 date on it, but the pic itself is Bob in a late 1940s/early 1950s uniform I think. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That Sports Illustrated photo of Feller is a pose I've not seen before. Very nice.

Just picked up another Phoenix Senators program for my collection. If anyone has any pre-1960s Phoenix, AZ baseball memorabilia, please let me know!

Seems like it's been a year or so since I posted over here. Picked this board game up today locally. circa 1910 with a Detroit Tigers theme on the front of the box. Hughie Jennings giving his yeehaw dance down at third.
