The Glory Of Their Times Items

[btcarfagno]

This is honestly my favorite book of all time. I love seeing items related to the book itself, especially correspondence between Larry Ritter and the different players. Please post items that you have or have seen, even just items of the players themselves. Cards, autographs, anything. Especially if it is related to the book however. My interest was rekindled due to a pair of purchases I made.

Rube Marquard's copy of The Glory Of Their Times personalized to him and signed by Larry Ritter.







Marquard Hall Of Fame Passes and his own HOF postcard from his collection.

Great stuff, Tom.

Aside from the cover signatures on this copy of the book, there are a few interior autographs by their pictures: Covaleski, Goslin and Roush.

I'll try to post other GOTT-related items I have later.

For those that have only read the book, do yourself a favor and get the audiobook with all of the original recordings from the players. It's a treat to these guys describe the greats first hand. Jason

+1. I was given an audio copy of this book a few years back as a gift. I keep the cd's in my car and will pop one in while driving occasionally just to brighten my trip.

The version I have is about five hours long and features the players speaking. Is there more than that? If so, where do I find it?

+1 - I knew there had to be something that Jason and I agreed on.
