Gabby, he certainly was, and could handle WoJo's heater, but you would have to say a weak bat.

Gabby was a weak bat, but check out Bill Bergen, the weakest hitting regular playing ballplayer of all time:

Thanks for posting that link.

Derek, that 1945 radio schedule would look wonderfully marvelous and at its best in a toploader among my other schedules, should a day come when you're ready to let go of that. Thanks for posting it!!

Just ran across this thread... I have a few more angles w/ these 2 to share... That's a serious run of T Cards in Frames on the wall. Seems I remember reading about those frames surfacing in someone's collection from an Auction years ago. Perhaps that was just a dream. Also, noticed that the schedule in this thread has the same pic taken from the original displayed here....
