Default Favorite Pre-1960 Obscure Player(s)

Andrew,

Unser Choe Hauser was a dear friend of mine. Thanks for thinking of him! Even in his late 90's he was an absolute hoot to be around. We shared many good laughs, smokes and German beers over several visits.

Dan,

Yes, it certainly is odd when one career minor leaguer's memorabilia keeps landing at your doorstep from various, unrelated sources. It's one thing to obtain a portion of such a player's estate, but this is an entirely different matter! Interesting stuff. This has happened to me with the autograph of a 1930's career minor leaguer named Ira Smith. He seems to have played everywhere, as is evidenced by all the various album pages I've had him on.
