SOLD Unique Baseball/Alcohol item from 1934

[Shoeless Moe]

1934 Bottle of Italian Vermouth imported by the Hall of Famer Tris Speaker.


Found this on the SABR page, I'm sure there is more info for anyone who wants to research it further, but pretty cool.

The Grey Eagle also capitalized on simply being Tris Speaker.
A regular on the banquet circuit, he served as president of Tris Speaker, Inc., a wholesale wine and liquor firm in Cleveland, and later as a sales representative for a Detroit steel company.
In 1936 he was chairman of the Cleveland Boxing and Wrestling Commission.
In 1939 Speaker was president of the National Professional Indoor Baseball League, which had a club in every major-league city except Washington, but the circuit lasted only one month.
He kept busy hunting, fishing, and flying (Tris had served as a naval aviator in the fall of 1918 and was commissioned a lieutenant),
and kept in touch with old friends such as Ty Cobb, Joe Wood, and Stan Coveleski. In 1953, Speaker had lunch in the White House with President Eisenhower.
