A few years ago, I bought a series of papers covering the 1925 World Series between the Pirates and the Senators. On one of the off days, the headlines are about Matty's death, and it has lots of great quotes from McGraw and others. And on the last page, there is a small box which says that the Pirates just purchased the contracts of Hal Rhyne and Paul Waner from San Francisco of the PCL. As a Pirates / NY Giants collector, it's one of my favorite items.
