Here's a great story I found about Bill Hayes from just a few years ago:

The kid on the right in the bottom photo is the kid who named the team.
That's a great story and a terrific ball Dan!

That should take away some of the sting from the stolen package of a few days ago.

Best, Jimmy

Jimmy, the package showed up in today's mail...not sure why it was scanned as delivered yesterday...also not sure why the postal carrier said that he put it on the porch. But I am very happy today.

I've been picking up more odds & ends than usual this month. Here is a nifty companion piece. A circa 1950's Yankee Stadium Tickets envelope.

I just picked up this 1934 Detroit Tigers Wooden Serving Tray. I have never found these with the advertising. I am thrilled to add it to my collection. Joey's Stables was a popular restaurant/nightclub in the Delray section of southwest Detroit and would remained open until 1989. The tray was produced to commemorate their first anniversary in business which coincided with the Tigers winning the AL pennant in 1934. As fate would have it, Detroit Tiger star and Detroit Southwestern High grad Barney McCosky (.312 lifetime BA) would eventually marry the owners daughter Jane.

Here's some nice provenance for the baseball...the seller found an article explaining how the kid got the ball.

Default here's weird

Picked this up today...this is one of the weirdest things I've ever bought. A new antiques flea market started up today for the first time at Candlestick Park in S.F. and I went to see what it was all about. Wasn't too bad for the inaugural opening...little eclectic...picked up a 1920's/30's galvano stationary/desk set box that advertised Richfield Oil the lid is an old time race car that lifts off...may jam it on eBay....then drove a short ways over to the Alamany flea maybe 5 miles away...I walked up to this one vendor and he had a lot of advertising....nothing real great....but there was this large advertising figure of a Scotchman I guess it was...and it was holding a strange looking head...I pulled it out to look at it and it was the strangest thing....a rubber football with the face of a bandaged up player one one side....looks 1960's at oldest, but very good condition....Wouldn't you know it...I ask how much and the guy says "you picked the one thing in my booth that's not for sale...I just put it there to attract people"....I looked it over and was kind of taken with it...and I jested to the guy.....now you're gonna make me want it more...is this Ronald Regan?...so I looked it over for a half minute and said....hey look, you're gonna sell it eventually anyway....what do you have to have for it?...the guy grimaces and thinks on my logic...then hesitantly goes....$20.00....bingo!!...I was shocked he said $20....For $20.00 it was a no brainer, I thought he'd say $50.00 or something....it's a little smaller than a real football...First one I've ever seen, no makers mark or numbers of any kind!...I wonder what designer conceived it and what company made it...it's out there!

Default George Sisler 1920's store model Bat

Picked up this 1920's Sisler store model bat, today. I referenced this in another thread. It is 32" long and is uncracked with great markings. It does have some condition issues such as initials engraved on the lower barrel and some splitting near the top of the bat. However, for $25.00 I am very pleased.

The rubber football is weird, indeed! My first impression was that it looked like John Wayne...

Carlton, I had one of those as a kid in the 80's. I don't recall where I got it though. It may have been second hand. If I can remember the name of the product/company I'll PM you.

Default Official scoresheets from all four Nolan Ryan 19 K games

I just picked up a really neat lot in Hunt's 2010 Live All-Star Fanfest Auction which perfectly compliments my advanced Nolan Ryan collection. Broadcasting great Dick Enberg recently decided to sell many of the momentos that he accumulated in his 40 year career. BTW, growing up in So. Cal during the 1970's, Dick Enberg was always one of my personal favorites and I spent many great summer nights listening to him broadcast Cal Angels games. I purchased his original official scoresheets from all four of Nolan Ryan's 19 career strikeout games from the years 1974 and 1977.

One of the sheets is from the game played on 8/12/74 vs. Boston. In this game Nolan passed Bob Feller's standard for the most strikeouts in an American League game. Rapid Robert had held the former record for over 35 years with 18 K's. Ryan also tied fellow HOF'ers Tom Seaver and Steve Carlton with their NL standard of 19 K's. This record held up until Roger Clemens struck out 20 in 1986. Note: Kerry Wood and Randy Johnson subsequently joined Rocket Roger with 20 K games as well.

The scoresheet from the game played on 8/20/74 was also of particular note. Not only did Nolan strike out 19 Detroit Tigers, but he also threw the fastest pitch ever recorded (100.9 MPH) using the sophisticated and precise measurement equipment provided by the Anaheim , CA aerospace company Rockwell International. To date, this is still the modern standard and remains in the Guiness Book of Sports Records. It's interesting to note that the 8/20/74 game was used as the calibration game by Rockwell for an Angels PR promotion that occured on 9/7/74 where fans were allowed to guess the actual speed of a Nolan Ryan fastball down to 1/10th of a MPH. The winner received tickets and airfare to the 1974 ALCS championship series compliments of the Angels. Like many teams, the cellar-dwelling early 1970's Angels were struggling to get fans into the seats. What better way than to exploit their only marketable asset at the time- Nolan Ryan? LOL

Those are pure GOLD...especially for one of the very top Ryan collectors on earth! Well done my friend, well done indeed.

Many congrats, Scott! I was at that game in which Ryan was clocked. It was very memorable, and a landmark game, as you say. They really made a big deal of the new radar technology.

I still remember how they made the results suspenseful... posting his fastest pitch by inning on the scoreboard. They really made you wait for the record-setting pitch (dragging it out mercilessly). When they finally posted it on the Big A (the scoreboard was still in left field at the time) the crowd went nuts. It was all people talked about the next few days.

I also remember seeing Enberg drive off in his red convertible after the games in those days. He would always flash a big smile and wave. The Angels were never very good, but Dick Enberg was a class-act, and those early '70s games were sure fun.

If you attended Hunts live, I'm sorry I missed you. I was there with another collector friend... we both won a few lots, and had a good time. It was cool to see the Wagner Strip up close, and there were some nice deals to be had. We should have thought to arrange a Net54 get-together with all the local SoCal people who were able to attend. Would have been great to meet Jimmy "King of Clout" as well... Oh well- maybe next time!

As stated above, I was lucky to pick up some nice pieces from Hunts. The Red Yankee Pennant w/names is the first I have ever seen in full-size. I thought it would go much higher than it did. It's been a while since I've added any vintage pennants, so these were some good scores!

Thanks Jimmy! I had hoped to win Enberg's scoresheet for Ryan's 383 K game too, but it wasn't meant to be... I'm thrilled to own the four 19 K scoresheets.

BTW, I didn't mention this in my July pickup description, but the 8/20/74 (100.9 MPH 19 K) game was the 1st time that I ever caught a foul ball in a baseball game. The foul ball was pitched by Nolan and fouled off by Ron LeFlore straight back into the first row of the View Section and into my waiting hands. Ironically, Ron Leflore was Ryan's 100.9 MPH record pitch as well as his (4th, 7th, 12th and) 19th strikeout victim in the game. Now there's an ultimate companion piece!

I'm always amazed by what you can find for the collection if you wait long enough. The power of patience has it's definate rewards!

Mark,
I saw Nolan pitch lots of times during the 1970's, but never caught one of his no-hitters or the 9/7/74 Ryan Rockwell speed night. I was fortunate to attend Ryan's 383 K game, two of his 19 K games and two 1-hitters. Wow! Thanks for your description of what it was like to be there- how cool! I wish that I had been at that game. I have all of the Angels original press releases and newspaper articles surrounding that game in my collection...

BTW, I actually did fly out to So Cal to catch the All Star game and HR Derby with an old friend that is still an Angels season ticket holder. Good times! I was at Hunt's live auction at the FanFest, but only to bid on the Enberg/ Ryan scoresheets. I'm sorry that I missed meeting you as well. I'm hoping to attend the National in Baltimore (Wed and Thurs). Maybe we can get together and meet if you're headed there as well?

Thanks!

I'm very pleased to add Joe D's Yankees Old-Timers Day 1978 garment bag w/ shaving bag to my matching 1977 suitcase. Both pieces are lined with Yankee pinstripes and come with the original boxes they were shipped in!

DiMaggioGARMENT-BAG-1.jpg

Here is the suitcase. Also, both pieces were never used.

Joltin Joe was some pack-rat...Thank God!

Picked up this large size cabinet photo of the 1901 Nebraska Indians baseball team. It's the same image they used on their smaller 1902 cabinet photos they sold...I always thought there was something fishy about that "2" on the 1902 cabinets.

The top photo is the 1901...the bottom photo is the altered 1902

Tremendous effort on your part over the last few months in adding a number of fantastic pieces to your already magnificent collection. Mark.

My best, Jimmy

Thanks Jimmy, Scott and Brock...

I was very lucky to get the Gum Box and the Mirror, especially. Two items at the very top of my "America's Dumbest Want List" seemingly forever. Neither comes up often, so I thought it best to go after both.

This was my "National", and I will now be out of commission at least until all those November Auctions pop up... but well worth it. Until then, I'll have to be content eating 100 year-old Gum (or at leat looking at it!)

Well, I "rounded up" on the age of the gum... but it's pretty close. Either way, the gum is definitely for display ONLY!

Wasn't there a pertinent Seinfeld episode about Wedding Cake?

Geez, trying to chew "fresh" Topps gum back in the day was bad enough, I can't even imagine trying to chew 100 year old gum. Come to think of it, it would probably give Topps gum a run for it's money

Are you sure that gum is original to the container? I always assumed some collector put that in there for display purposes at a much late date.

I bet you're right Dan... Gum that old probably would have decomposed by now. Hope the stuff in there doesn't leave a sticky residue, come to think of it.

Dan, nope haven't picked anything up recently. Look forward to seeing what else you have.

On the gum subject I tried a 1968 Topps piece back in the early 80's. It was brown but I was a brave kid. It was the worst thing I ever tasted. It definitely made me think twice about trying the 63 Fleer cookie.

Surprisingly gum WILL last for more than 100 years...I found a slug of gum and candy items in my Great Grandmother's possessions a few years ago.

Very cool, Dan...

That Sen-Sen Gum would make a killer companion piece for anyone who has the Sen-Sen Scorekeeper. Same obviously for the Colgan's Chips.

First time I've seen the actual Sen-Sen product. Great finds!

Picked up this sweet cabinet photo of a Nebraska football player from 1905-06...I found the exact photo in the 1907 U of Nebraska yearbook to confirm it.

Default Big additions

My newest Gehrig items.
I got these in a big trade. I had to give up a photo that I really loved. I hated to do it, but it was worth it.

1924 Lou Gehrig type 1.



1927 Yankees infield type 1

You know I didn't even notice that fact. I saw the post before mine and didn't look at the previous post dates.
Well I'll post my pick up in the correct thread.

That Pencil Box was a steal! I already have one, and it still took all the restraint I could muster NOT to hit the Buy It Now!

Great pickup, especially in that condition!

Default so nice so nice

you said it twice! I have but one left from this great set of 19th century pencil boxes and it's the same as yours except - that's honestly the cleanest one of these I've seen - by a wide margin.
