Joseph Felix Casey, 1909-11 Detroit Tigers
.
As many of you know, collections sometimes get to that point where it's a reason to celebrate when the opportunity arises that allows you to cross off even one name on your super tough want list. Joe Casey, who died in 1966, and who was a former member of 1909-1911 Detroit Tigers teams, is on my want list. This signed Boston Fenway Park scorecard cut (c.1939 Old Timers gathering) is the first Joe Casey example I have ever viewed in 13+ years of collecting.
It is now in hand, and is mine. And the name Joe Casey has now been strickened from my want list. Parden me as I dance alittle jig, enjoy a fine whisky, and savor the moment. Cheers.
