Default Anyone else collect Baseball related telegrams...
This one is from Lou Gehrig just months before he died and is certainly one of my favorite pieces from my collection. What a Great Man he truly was...

An inquiring newspaper writer once sent a telegram to Cary Grant before his birthday that said "How old Cary Grant?" Grant sent a telegram back that said, "Old Cary Grant fine. How you?"

I don't collect telegrams, but I sure am tempted to now.

The Gehrig one in your intital post is nothing short of amazing!

Sorry for the small scan but if I can read it, most anyone else still should be able to.

Default Signed Aaron 715 Telegram.
Just picked this up...

Could have been from Joe Schultz who was a coach in the bigs for many years and the Pilots Manager during their lone season in Seattle.

You might remember him as Jim Bouton's foul mouthed Manager in the classic book "Ball Four". Joe's favorite word was: Sh*tfu*k or Fu*ksh*t.
