Saw this thread bumped back up, and figured I would share a recent pickup.

Amazing and very nice

A couple more for the evening.

Game 4 of the 1944 World Series. The series was during WWII and was an all-St Louis series, sometimes referred to as "The Trolley Car Series".

The Cardinals won the game 5-1 to tie the series at 2 games a piece. They would win the next 2 to win the series in 6 games.

The Browns lineup card is signed by manager Luke Sewell. The Cardinals lineup card was filled out by HOF manager Billy Southworth, who left it unsigned.

The game is notable because it features Stan Musial's only career World Series home run.

Picked up my first lineup cards after reading this and other threads and the interview last year or so with Jeff. Has been a lot of fun. My thought is to find April 15 Dodger lineup cards (Official or unofficial Jackie Robinson Day) or build a small collection with a lineup from each of the Dodger managers--as far back as I can find and afford. Anyone with spares? I'd be interested, as funds allow.

4/15/99 - Davey Johnson


8/28/2020 - Chris Woodward (Rangers)
Due to Covid, Jackie Robinson Day plans changed in 2020. The season was not underway in April. The rescheduled JR Day was set to 8/28 in honor of the March of Washington in 1968 and the day Jackie signed with the Dodgers 8/28/1945. The Dodgers were not at home on the new date, but away at Globe Life Field--a foreshadowing of the World Series location. And on this day, Chadwick Boseman died, the actor who famously played Jackie Robinson in the film 42.


A fun start!

I thought that this thread would be a good place to share:

Fun interview, Jeff! Tom does a great job with the write-ups.

I thought it odd to find Clayton Kershaw's name scratched out on this batting order card. Lo and behold, it was his first career use as a pinch hitter. Not exactly his debut or a no-hitter, but fun to research and discover.



Let's keep it going. Only 1.14 million views behind the pennants thread!

Don't think I ever shared these here. Realizing now that I never took a picture on my own, so this comes from the auction house where it was purchased.
