I have two different Lousville Colonels team pictures featuring Pee Wee Reese. The first one (pictured) is a 1938 team picture. The second one I have (not shown) is from the 1939 season. The neat thing about the 1939 team picture is that it was once owned by Reese and from what I understand actually hung in his den at his home in Louisville until his death in 1999. The ironic thing about it is that it is signed by every player on the team except Reese. I guess since it was his personal photo he didn't really need to ever sign it.

Here is my 1995 Albany Polecats game used jersey worn by Vladimir Guerrero. It was his Class A jersey. I even have a letter with it from the authority on Minor League jerseys, the late Dick Dobbins. I also have Guerrero's 1994 Gulf Coast Expos Rookie League jersey which was Guerrero's first ever professional jersey that he wore in the U.S.

Dan,

That Montreal snapshot you posted appears to depict Chris Hartje, one of baseball's tragic deaths. He was with the Royals from 1939-40, to give you a date on the pic.

I'll have to check that out...I'm pretty sure that most of these photos have the names written on the back...I'm at work today so I can't check until late tonight.

BTW I never heard back from you on the Nash Vols ball...I am interested as to what would make a 1936 ball more desirable than the 1934. Thanks!
