Incredible items! The photos from the grand opening are really cool.

Below is an odd Braves item I acquired at the last Wilmington MA show. It is the letter R from a display that spelled out Boston Braves supposedly. Supposedly, it hung in the stadium at one point. I have no evidence to support either of these, but it is cool nonetheless. It is made of wood and is wrapped in plastic with cardboard backing in the photo below. Does anyone know anything about this? Has anyone seen any other letters? Supposedly, the dealer sold a B and an A 10-20 years ago.

Here is yet another snapshot of Jim Tobin taken while playing for the Boston Braves. Tobin threw one official no-hitter as well as an unofficial no hitter (called after 5 innings) in 1944.

An interesting side note is that in his 9 inning no-hitter on April 27th, 1944 he also hit two HR's. Tobin hit 17 HR's in his short career. The guy could swing it!

Just curious if anyone recognizes the ballpark in the background? PLMK-thanks!
