Here is a trophy I own that was awarded by the YMCA to a Stevedores baseball team, that was undefeated in an AEF baseball tournament in Paris in 1918.

BJ - You mentioned Gabby and the war, so I thought I would share this T206 that shows what year Gabby left ball and returned... (1918 - Army) - The reverse of the T206 reads left to right... (Some ole time collector seem to write Gabby's career from beginning to end starting with Hopkinsville, Ky. in 1903 and ending in St. Louis in 1938.

I don't have any photos but my Dad was with the Marines sitting in the bay as the Japanese surrendered on the Missouri, they went on shore immediately to gather arms.
I asked him how cooperative the people were and he said they were very helpful with no problems. He added that "They wore us out. Every time we would stop for a break they would pull out gloves and want us to play catch." |

Here are a new batch of service team BB uniforms that I just purchased.
I've posted Jack Phillip's Navy uniform and GU service balls used by Red Evans and Bob Feller before. Judging by some items I see posted here, I now know who is outbidding me on some of this WWII memorabilia! Ken earlywynnfan5@hotmail.com |
