Jodi BirkholmI actually have the poster from the first annual reunion in 1931. Cy Young, Branch Rickey and about twenty others signed the verso. Unfortunately, I have had to cut it up, as its breakup value was tremendous. Mordecai Brown was at the first one, as were a ton of other great and obscure players. Thanks to this event, there is at least one true autograph of 1903 Highlander Ambrose Puttmann and pioneering 19th century player Gus Shallix in existence. It really hurt to cut this piece up, but, to be entirely honest, nobody really cares enough about this reunion to rationalize keeping the piece intact.
Does anyone have a clue as to how many years this reunion took place?
