Mike - you are too kind. I hardly ever venture over to the memorabilia side...though I probably should more often. I certainly have plenty of pre-rookie photos in my collection. Here are a few I don't think I've shared before on Net54:
1956 Sparky Anderson in Rosabell Plumbers semi-pro team uniform:
1905-06 Cabinet Photo (during time at Columbia University) of Eddie Collins:
1964 Press Photo of Rollie Fingers in his Upland High School uniform:
1924 London Tecumseh's Team Cabinet w/ Gehringer:
1915 Press Photo of Waite Hoyt in his Giants uniform at age 15:
1922 Press Photo of Fred Lindstrom in his Loyola Academy high school uniform at age 17 (after batting a whopping .705):
