Seemed Joe Wood signed everything else but pre-war baseball cards. Had himself a little cottage industry of affixing his seven letters to tickets, balls, and whatever. Nice work if you can get it.

For the record I had the autographed M116 reholdered by SGC a few years back.


The Red Sox prevailed over the Giants 4-3. Wood gave up 8 hits and struck out 11. It was after this game that he was reported to have said, "I threw so hard I thought my arm would fly right off my body."


This came from the bunch of Dr Steen autographed Sporting News supplements that were auctioned off a few years ago. Nice to have something not signed with a Sharpie.


This is a Lee MacPhaill AL ball which dates it to 1973-1983. A ball signed by Wood in 1912, if such a thing exists, would be my ultimate hobby dream item.
