I once owned a beautiful twice signed Candy Cummings letter with good baseball content...wish I kept that one. And for the record, there were newspaper reports circa 1860 stating that Jim Creighton was throwing a ball that appeared to curve in flight, so it is unliely that Cummings invented the curveball. He may have popularized it, but wasn't the first to throw one.
