Picked up a variation of the Giants 1964 calendar. I still have some holes to fill but don't ever plan on forking out what the 1958's go for. Well.....never say never.

Added this pin today. I think of it as a Pirates pin because that is where Earl spent most of his career.

FYI, I own this pinback as well because of Earl Hamilton's no-hitter connection. I believe if you do your research on Hamilton you will find that he owned a minor league baseball team after his playing career if I remember correctly, thus the inscription on the pinback. |

My buddy sent a picture of his 1958 (flatten that thing out, already!!!). He paid $450 for it. To my knowledge, it is the only one to hang "diagonally" and not be orange and white. Mack-Newman or Nadel-Newman put these out from 1958-1970. I think my buddy has almost the complete run. We only know of variations when one pops up.

Well, it is not DiMaggio or Torre...
But at least it is a guy named Joe!
Joe Girardi game used bat from his days with the Rockies. Not sure what the tape is at the bottom, looks like band-aid bandage wrap. Maybe this was his BP bat? Not sure if you can have that on your bat in a game. |

Allie Reynolds game ball from the day of his 2nd no-hitter in 1951
Here is a neat recent pickup.
This is a game ball from the doubleheader played on 9/28/1951 at NYY. In the first game of the D/H, Yankee's hurler "Superchief" Allie Reynolds pitched his way into the record books by throwing his second career no-hitter against the Boston Red Sox. At this point in history, only Johnny Vander Meer had accomplished this feat. 64 years later there still are only 6 pitchers in major league history to complete this feat: Vandy, Allie Reynolds, Virgil Trucks, Nolan Ryan, Roy Halladay and Max Scherzer. This is actually a foul ball that was retrieved by a fan in the 2nd game of the 9/28/51 D/H off the bat of the visiting Red Sox's Charlie Maxwell. Of note, in the second game, Yankee's Joe DiMaggio homered for the final time in his HOF career with the Bronx Bombers.The patron, sensing the history of the D/H, had Allie Reynolds sign the ball and he added the following additional notations to complete the provenance for the ball. I couldn't resist the temptation to add this ball to my no-hit pitcher collection. While the ball was not retrieved from the actual no-hit game, it's definitely about as close as you could get for a vintage game ball. Extra Innings: Allie Reynolds pitched 13 total seasons for the Cleveland Indians and NY Yankees. He had a win loss record of 182-107 and career ERA of 3.30. During his 9 year run with the Yankees he was absolute money. In the World Series he was 7-2 in the games that he got a decision in the 15 games that he appeared in. In the 1949 WS he had an ERA of 0.00; in 1950 he had a WS ERA of 0.79. Although he was never inducted into the HOF he was a fan favorite, including many that lobbied hard for his inclusion into the HOF. Last edited by Scott Garner; 01-22-2016 at 01:19 PM. |

Hi Scott,
Quick question about the '67 pin back -- have you found background info linking it to Allie Reynolds? Greg |

Quote:
Happy New Year! The person that sold this to me on eBay a few years ago indicated that the pin originated from a HOF vote in '67 for Allie Reynolds. At the time I didn't question it because this was at the point that Allie Reynolds received his highest percentage vote in his quest to enter the HOF. This HOF excerpt is from Wikipedia on Allie Reynolds: Baseball Hall of Fame candidacy "When Reynolds was eligible for election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, his highest vote percentage was 33.6% in the 1968 balloting, short of the 75 percent required for election.[21] That year, he finished ahead of future Hall of Famers Arky Vaughan, Pee Wee Reese, Phil Rizzuto, George Kell, Hal Newhouser, Bob Lemon, and Bobby Doerr. Reynolds was named as one of the ten former players that began their careers before 1943 to be considered by the Hall of Fame's Veterans Committee for induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009.[40] He received eight votes, one shy of the nine votes required for election.[21] Reynolds was on the new Golden Era Committee ballot in 2011 for 2012, (replaced the Veterans Committee)[21] receiving fewer than three votes (12 votes are required for election to the Hall of Fame).[41] The Committee meets and votes every three years on ten candidates selected from the 1947 to 1972 era. He was not a candidate in 2014 (none were elected by the committee). Rob Neyer, in evaluating Reynolds' candidacy, believes Reynolds was "probably as good" as Jesse Haines, Lefty Gomez and Waite Hoyt, who have all been inducted into the Hall of Fame. However, he added that "they’re all marginals."[21] Adapting Bill James' sabermetric statistic known as win shares, Dr. Michael Hoban, a professor emeritus of mathematics at City University of New York, found that Reynolds falls short of his threshold for induction, and scored lower than Haines and Gomez.[21]" Last edited by Scott Garner; 01-17-2016 at 05:25 PM. |

Thanks Scott -- HOF voting has always been tough to figure.
I saw that pin back once and assumed it referred to NY Giants coach Allie Sherman -- good to know it's actually a baseball pin. Greg Last edited by sayhey24; 01-17-2016 at 04:46 PM. |

Added some WWII service team jerseys in the last few months. The dark one is denim blue with grey letters, looks awesome in person.

Picked up a presentational watch given to Willie Upshaw by the Blue Jays. On the back it is engraved "Willie Upshaw 10 Years". I am not sure if it was given to him for 10 years of service or to celebrate 10 years of the Blue Jays being in MLB.
Could only find one other at auction given to Hector Torres who played for the Jays in 1977 and was a manager in their minors system in 85-86, which would have been the Blue Jays 10th season. http://www.legendaryauctions.com/mob...sentation_watc If any body has any info, I would appreciate it. image.jpg |

Finally (!!) got a 1968 Blues vintage bobblehead - the more rare gold version at that. Still need the blue sweater version, though.

Who is that player, or is it just a facsimile?

Not a depiction of a particular player, just representative. That series used the same head with the big dimples for all teams.

Not my primary collecting focus, but two things that I really like are unusual pennants and boxes.

The Curse of the Goat
From the last time the Cubbies participated in the Fall Classic. Thrilled that this is a starting position player who had a pretty good World Series. I have seen rings from the Cubs 1938 appearance, but not one from 1945. Would love to know if there are others out there as well.

"Synonymous with the sport he so thoroughly dominated, Gordie Howe was not only portrayed on the Detroit Red Wings 1967-1968 Gold Base bobblehead doll, but was the likeness on dolls for the remaining teams in the set, as well!" I see that term is used by The Nodder Exchange, too. Although I really don't see the resemblance, great to know as another search term as I try to find the Blues blue sweater version. Thanks!! Jim |

Added a Comiskey Park stadium seat to my seat collection. The top is painted white. I read that this marked the different sections of seating? Does anybody know if this is true or does anybody remember going to Comiskey and seeing these? Thank you for any info.
