I've got a few more autographs that I can't readily match up with
cards, and conversely.



Just behind my cut of Francis Healy (15 games and 4 hits in 1934)
I found this signed 3x5, or Clarence "Lefty" Heise. His entire
major league career occurred on April 22, 1934. He'd started
with Danville of the III league, and after a 10-10 record in 34
games there he moved up to AA Columbus of the American
Association in 1931, winning 2 of his 4 games. In 1932 he's with
AA Rochester, appearing in only 6 games. !933 and he moves to
Columbus, and posts a 17-5 record. So here he comes to St. Louis
in 1934, and on that April day he pitches the last 2 innings,
giving up 3 hits, one a home run, 3 runs, and 2 wild pitches.
That was his only major league game...
