Baseball Tips by Billy Sullivan. Signed by Billy Sullivan (son of the T206er) and Clarence Fieber, from the 1934 AA Milwaukee team



Fieber only pitched 13 innings for Milwaukee in 1934. He pitched in the PCL for Oakland when he was 18 and 19 in 1932 and 1933. Despite pitching early at this high level, he never pitched in the majors.

Thanks to Scott & Scott as well as Mighty Bombjack for your kind words regarding the Hodges signature. It took me a couple of years to find a nice signature of his. He is tough. A lot of his signatures are tiny cuts in pencil from programs. Also, being a Mets fan it had to be something signed from my favorite team, therefore, eliminating the Dodgers and Senators. When I finally found it, it was a great moment.

I just read this and thought "What Hodges autograph?" so I backed peddled and WOW that really is an incredible signature! Congrats Anthony.

One of my all-time favorite baseball books...

Veeck as in Wreck is one of my all time favorite books as well Rick. Max, Baseball the Fan's Game signed by Mickey Cochrane is the one item I regret selling, but still enjoy seeing it when it surfaces. I sold my signed copy back in 1989 when I was in college and needed the money(sold for $150). My father gave it to me when I was 12 and he thought that my grandmother had it signed by Mickey at a book signing at the J.L. Hudson Bookshop in Detroit. Though I still kick myself over the sale because of the family connection, the book was a beginning to a life long appreciation for the history of baseball and collecting baseball memorabilia. Sorry the files are so big.

Seeing the Milwaukee Braves edition from the Putnam series got my attention. I just picked up a copy signed by Lynch last month. I have been working on the entire series signed by the authors for years. When I get I new one I get rid of the unsigned edition on my shelf. For me the Putnam series is one of the highlights of my collection-card,book, whatever. Great history and very well written!

Hot Springs Bathers- Good luck in your pursuit and congrats on your pickup of the late Milwaukee edition signed by Russ Lynch. Milwaukee Sentinel sports editor Russ Lynch, through the power of the press, played an important role in pressuring Boston Braves owner Lou Perrini to either commit to moving to Milwaukee or give up the territorial rights and therefore pave the way for Bill Veeck to move the Browns into the city. The author signature in this case has an added significance.

Thanks Tigerden! I had the Kaese signed book from years ago so this was a nice addition. It came on the heels of THE UMPIRE STORY signed by James Kahn. To pick up two signed Putnams in a 60 day period was nice.
