Although not especially valuable, these two pickups are special to me because they relate to Pete Runnels, who was my favorite Washington Senator when I was a kid:
- Framed 1951 photo of the Senators team signed by each of the players, including Runnels in his rookie season. Runnels is in the first row, far right. I need to remat this pic so that the entire image of Runnels shows.
- Framed display with a signed copy of the 1958 document regarding the trade of Runnels by the Senators to the Red Sox for Albie Pearson and Norm Zauchin. This trade broke my heart, but Runnels went on to have the 5 best years of his career with the Red Sox, which included winning the A. L. batting titles in 1960 and 1962.
