Thanks Dan, I can't believe I finally got it. Also as someone who collects NBC material I've never seen that program either. Thats a great score.

I wouldn't normally post my Saltdogs pickups in this chatroom, but this was such a nice score today I'll use my slightly off topic post here. Picked up 7 game used bats...three are team signed..one has a notation that it was used to hit three homers in one game, one is the breast cancer day pink bat...also got a few game used balls that are good for autographs, and two game used jerseys. All off of a Craigslist ad from a lady who has hosted players for the last decade.

I just picked this baseball up. This ball was the final pitch of a game between the Indians and the A's on June 15th, 1926. Rube Walberg had just won his 15th major league game by tossing a 5 hit shutout. I'm hopeful I can do some research and find out who made the last out. Would be great if this beauty got Tris Speaker to pop out. Rube wrote out the box score and starting pitchers and catchers for each team, so technically it is also autographed.

If I'm reading the box score correctly, it looks like the last out for the Indians on June 15, 1926 was hall of famer Joe Sewell. Not Speaker, but still really nice!

Does it say that it was the final out ball. I always Figured these were just balls used during the game and not the final outs?

The baseball is inscribed "Last ball on June 15th, 1926" and then has the box scores and starting pitchers written on opposite side panels. Sounded like the last pitch to me. I should also mention it comes with an LOA from Walberg's daughter which states this ball was the "last ball used in the game."

I got an unexpected surprise in the mail today from the folks I bought a big lot of Lincoln minor league stuff from in June...they sent me some newspaper clippings, two team photos (one of which I didn't have..and didn't know existed since I have a 1960 team photo the only difference is the one I already had does not have any advertising on it)...the best item though is a 1924 Lincoln Links program..check out the player batting 5th in the lineup for Lincoln....TONY LAZZERI!!!!

Wow Dan that's incredible. Especially that 20's program. It seems minor league programs from our areas are exceedingly rare. Congrats.
