New pick up. Cleaned up nicely, got a new key made and it works great.
My 5 year old is very excited about it.

Fantastic item. You did a great job. Just want to know, if you hit a "foul ball", do you still get gum?

Thanks!Yes you do. Which is what I usually hit.

Thank you! It turned out looking much nicer than I had thought when I picked it up at auction.

C'mon, be serious. You don't get gum for a foul OUT!
The Gum Nazi says, NO GUM FOR YOU!

Really excited about this pickup.

Lineup cards from Oct 7, 1944, Game 4 of the 1944 World Series.

The 1944 World Series was the last WS to feature two teams who played their home games in the same stadium. The Cardinals won Game 4, 5-1 behind a complete game from Harry Brecheen.

In an example of baseball during the war (with so many players drafted), Browns starting pitcher Sig Jakucki had been out of baseball for 5 years before returning in '44 and winning 13 games during the regular season.
Significantly, this game featured Stan Musial hitting a 2-run homer. This would represent the only Playoff Homerun of Musial's career.

The Cardinals lineup card was filled out by HOF manager Billy Southworth. The Browns lineup is signed by manager Luke Sewell.

The lineups also come with a letter from William Harridge to umpire (and former player) George Pipgras informing him that he would be umping the series.

Got this teens era Cubs pennant. Something I’ve wanted for awhile. It’s not in the best of shape but I think It’ll look good once I get it framed and hanging on my cubs wall.

I never thought about these. But after seeing this and reading some of the history I think you might be getting me hook on them.
Thanks for sharing

They are definitely a niche item, but I find them an incredibly interesting part of baseball history.
