Usually I don't suffer from envy when someone posts a great card or memorabilia item, but that Bill Skowron sketch makes me crazy jealous. Moose was my baseball hero back in those wonderful boyhood days in the ancient fifties. I picked up this motheaten cap from one of the auctions a few years ago, ostensibly game worn in 1957 by him, possibly seen upon his head by Mini-Me as he manned first base. Who knows? This photograph of Moose as a Purdue fullback and stamped Nov 3, 1949 was acquired from the latest Henry Yee eBay sale and was delivered about 10 minutes ago.
Hi David,
I am glad you like the Moose Skowron sketch. I am from Austin so I have always been interested in memorabilia from the 1950 Austin Packers team with Moose on it. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of stuff around from this team. I do have almost all of the scorecards from the 1950 season. Take care.
Dan
