PCL Railway passes
Thought these were cool, given my interest in California baseball and my son's interest in trains. They are very colorful and will display well. I'd never seen them before.

Peaches
Lucky enough to add this carved mini bat to my Rockford Peaches collection. The bat looks to be made in 1945 by Helen Filarski who played for Rockford tin 45 and 46. She made it for her sister Grace.

Harvey Haddix 12 innings of perfection game ball 5/26/59
I haven't posted any recent pickups in a while, but I finally came up with one that I'm very excited about.
This is a ball from what many experts feel is the greatest game ever pitched. On May 26, 1959 Pirates pitcher Harvey Haddix hurled 12 innings of perfection against the Milwaukee Braves, before finally becoming the hard luck loser 1-0 in the 13th inning. On hand in Milwaukee to witness the event was AP Sports Editor and beat writer Dave O'Hara. O'Hara had a storied and amazing career with AP. Do yourself a favor and take a minute to read his obit from 2013: https://www.ap.org/ap-in-the-news/20...tor-ohara-dies After the game, Haddix apparently gifted this game ball to Dave O'Hara and inscribed it accordingly. A great trophy from one of baseball's most memorable games. Perfect for my advanced no-hitter collection and a great complimentary piece for a Haddix PG mini-collection that I have been putting together through the years. Enjoy! |

Picked up this image of the 1905 Harvard team, featuring William Clarence Matthews, in Leland’s. I’ve been looking for an image of Matthews for about five years to fill I hole in a collection of images related to baseball’s color line.
Matthews went on to play for an integrated team in Vermont before leaving baseball. Boston’s Traveler newspaper wrote at the time: “Because his skin is black he can never play on any but itinerant colored nines that at best eke out a hand to mouth existence. With all its insurmountable handicaps, baseball is not the place for Matthews. He should begin the battle for life somewhere else.” And so he did. |

Wow congrats on the important acquisition! Have you passed on others due to high prices or are images of him just so tough to find? Scott - wow. A really special piece. Enjoy it. |

Wow this has been an impressive month for pickups. Ben, Kenny, and Scott I am always happy to see such beautiful items land in the right collections. Bobfreedman amazing as always. I am so happy none of your collections venture into my little niche of the hobby. These are a few of my recent additions. The Clemente pin has long been on my want list and I finally came across one in nice condition. The Bob Gibson no hitter ticket was essentially a gift from Scott Garner. Scott your generosity was most appreciated. I have been building a collection of autographs from all members of the 1971 Pirates to include every player and coach who wore the uniform (44) owner, radio personalities, and the front office staff. This Bill Guilfoile letter serves as a great companion piece to my World Series pins and jewelry. It also fills a hole in my autograph collection. The link below is an article written by his son that relates to Clemente and is a great read for those that might be interested.

Thanks!
Gary, Rob, MCygnik, Jonathan and Peter thanks for your kind thoughts.
Peter, it was great seeing you at the National! Mike, it was my pleasure to fill a couple of holes in your 1971 Pirates ticket collection. You should consider posting a current want list on net54 to complete this portion of your collection. I hope you had a great vacation with your family. |

Thank you. There have only been two photographs of Matthews offered during the last twenty-five years. The other one was in a catalog I didn't receive, and I missed it.

Your post piqued my interest. I have access to a website which offers scans of old high school and college yearbooks. Unfortunately there are usually a lot of years missing. Best I could do for Matthews was a citation for lettering in baseball in 1903 which indicated he was in the class of 1905. As it happens the 1905 yearbook, which presumably would have his graduation photo, was not available. I did see a few 1905 Harvard scorecards on eBay that listed Mathews on the roster. ETA: Upon further perusing I stumbled across a photo of "The Varsity Nine" in the 1903 yearbook.

Thanks, David. The scorecards aren’t for me—I’m a photography collector with a few bats and balls—but they might be for other forum members. The scorecards are inexpensive relative to their historical importance.
