Picking away at another project I'm working on. I'm calling it The 1969 Cubs...The Great Collapse. Just added a signed Topps Bill Hands and should be adding a Jenkins at next week's show.

Got two items of interest recently:
1) Bill Martin Presentation Bat from August 10, 1986 stands over 5 foot tall and is heavy as... 2) Jim Bunning AP Wire Photo taken after his perfect game - it is cut down to 8x8. Won this on ebay - unsigned - then ran it over to the Senate Office Building and had Senator Bunning sign it. Took 5 minutes of chatting to convince him to sign it for me. He is only there as a sitting Senator until the end of year. I will try one more time to get a 1964 Phillies Yearbook signed. Last edited by ray1954; 07-05-2010 at 03:20 PM. Reason: Add Pictures |

Scott- I believe Lon had a small band that played in the off-season. His musical ability was showcased when he moved to the Cardinals. The players performed before a few games and on local radio. I think it was pure "country."

A 1941 Babe Ruth Sam Goldwyn Baseball Movie Photo. From the famous Culver Archives, Babe Ruth meets Sam Goldwyn (of movie fame) when Babe signed the contract to appear in the Lou Gehrig movie “The Pride of the Yankees.” Dated Dec 2, 1941 on the back.
What really makes this one special for me is that this photo is the companion piece! For me...it's almost always the other way around. So here is the key piece. Babe's paycheck stub for appearing in the classic film recounting Lou Gehrig's life... "The Pride of the Yankees" babepaycheckstubDATE-2a.jpgbabepaycheckstub-2.jpg BabeRuthSamGoldwyn.jpg Last edited by thekingofclout; 07-05-2010 at 08:01 PM. |
