Lets see your: Stan Coveleskis

[FromVAtoLA]

If anyone has a 1925 Exhibits of Stan that they are looking to sell please message me. I've been working on a set of all of the players interviewed in Glory of Their Times and using the PSA set version to build it. Still trying to track that one down along with a few others.

If you're interested in reading about Stan's brother Harry, the "Giant Killer," I wrote and illustrated a piece about him here:

I also wrote about the other Coveleski brothers who played ball as well as why Harry spelled his last name with a "skie" and Stan ended his with a "ski."

Very nice article, thanks for posting. Harry has a great E93 card.

Stan in fact used to end the surname with an "e", as is evidenced by some career-era signatures. I do know that, in 1925, he spelled it both ways! He really wasn't a prolific signer in his younger years. Practically everything you see was signed following his induction. Thankfully, he lived to sign for many years after being elected.

Edit: I just happened to read where you wrote that Harry's HOF questionnaire was filled out by Stan. You may wish to revise. It was signed by Stan, but Stan's wife completed the rest in her hand.

Not a card, so a bit OT, but thought any Stan Coveleski fans might appreciate.

Bought this Ruth Gehrig photo a few years ago. It was owned by Stan and displayed in his living room for many years. The back is inscribed in blue ink by Coveleski:

"Lou Gehrig & Babe Ruth, I never get any credit for making a hitter out of Babe R. He pitched a game against me, he hit the hardest home run I ever had hit off me, 1 wk later they took him away from pitching & put him in the outfield, so I always said to myself I made a hitter out of him."

Would love to see a photo of the writing, Steve.
