My Maine collection is coming along nicely. Lately I picked up this nice (albeit lower grade) Fred Parent card and a Louisville Slugger lathe bat for Del Bissonette.
But my favorite so far is this 1925 original photo of a Rockland, Maine, semi-pro team. Back row second from left is Squanto Wilson, which I knew when I bought it.
What I discovered today was the player in second row all the way to the right; Pat French, who appeared in maybe 3 games for the Philadelphia Athletics. Although not from Maine, apparently, he played baseball for the University of Maine. So he can be an honorary member of my collection.
I also found some time to research my UMaine flannel jersey, and discovered that prior to 1937, they used a stick letter logo. Then, apparently for ONE year only, they switched to these blue puffy letters. So that was kind of cool.
Thanks to everyone on the board who encouraged me and made great suggestions. It is amazing to learn so much while I research my project.
