Rob I am wondering if the Cleveland City Council had a regular game each year with the Detroit Police and Cleveland Police. Check out the ball below and you will see why I think this is possible. Sept. 5, 1889 is there anything on the back? Thanks! D.

Default Significant 1954 Letter Regarding Roberto Clemente
At the age of 18, Clemente attended a tryout camp conducted by Brooklyn Dodgers scout and future general manager Al Campanis. Among 70 players, Clemente stood out. "He was the best free-agent athlete I have ever seen," Campanis recalled.

After playing with Santurce in the Puerto Rican winter league, Clemente signed with the Dodgers for a $10,000 bonus and a $5,000 salary. He played in 1954 with the Dodgers' Montreal farm club. But when Brooklyn didn't protect him on its roster, the Pirates selected Clemente as the first selection of the rookie draft that took place on November 22, 1954.

On November 23, 1954 Mr. Harold G. Roettger, assistant to the President of the Pirates sent this letter to Mr. Phillip Piton, Ass't to Pres. on the NAPBL.

Being a huge lifetime Clemente fan, I consider this one of the most important finds I've made

Jimmy,

Sweet pick up. I just love this sight, I learn something new everyday. I never knew Clemente played for the '54 Dodger's farm team. Congratulations!

Very happy with this find. Branch Rickey Official League ball signed by 12 members of the 1932 Cardinals. Frisch, Watkins, Wares, Street, Hallahan, Flowers, Stout, Bottomley, Collins, Gelbert, Gonzalez and Holm. My first Rickey Ball - would love to find out more about the ball itself.

How do they enforce the 36 Inning guarantee?

Seriously, great ball. Once again, this hobby is the greatest, and its so cool seeing all the different things people collect/desire.

Picked up a couple of a interesting late 1800's paper items - 1893 issue of "The Reliable Book of Outdoor Games" by Henry Chadwick and an 1899 hanging Base Ball ticket from an unknown (town?) game.

My cousin is the one holding the bat in that photo.
His name is Lee Handley
I was very excited to find this one, as it is the first one I've ever seen where he's depicted in game action!
