Default Lest we Forget

Posted By: john/z28jd

A letter from 19th century pitcher Ralph D Miller.Its hard to read so ill type it out.It should be of note that his first ML game was actually May 4,1898.This is one of my favorite items not only because of the age but the fact he only played pre-1900 finishing his career in 1899 with Baltimore.


My greatest thrill came when i pitched my first game for Brooklyn on May 25,1898.I beat the Cincinnati club-score 6 to 3.It was a big rush.I was carried off the field by my friends

Ralph D Miller

the reverse says- One big player was Billy Keeler.Sorry i have no photos.Excuse writing eye sight very poor.
