Roy Campanella's All Stars signed team sheet - after the 1952 baseball season Roy Campanella formed a barn storming team which he called the Roy Campanella All Stars. He gathered black stars from the Negro Leagues and a few major leaguers and barnstormed around the country. From the original collector, a young child at the time, I now have an 8.5 x 11 lined page containing autographs of 17 players from Roy Campanella's All Stars, obtained in Galveston, TX, in the fall of 1952, at a game.
The sheet is signed, in ink, by the following players:
Pee Wee Butts (signed only Butts)
Roy Campanella (his autograph is circled because he was the favorite player of the kid who got the autographs)
George Scales
Doc Dennis
Hank Thompson
Lennie Pearson
John Hayes
George Crowe
Lefty Mathis
Monte Irvin
Larry Doby
Pat Scantlebury
John (Wes) Covington
Casey Jones
Joe Black
Harry Simpson
