Thank you, Ben.
I can just see your young self running to check the mail box with great anticipation every day for weeks and weeks knowing that today's the day! Innocence is a beautiful thing. Too bad it can't last forever. It's also easy to imagine Wade's shock with Margo, "Wadda ya mean ya kept the motel keys???!!! Last edited by Jerry G; 12-29-2009 at 11:31 PM.

I did just obtain Ryan signed items . . .
.
cbcbcb, I did just obtain the Ryan signed business card and TLS via eBay. As a collector of vintage Detroit Tigers autographs, the content of the letter was relevant. I'd be curious to know what led to the gifting of the pen from the Tigers organization to Jack Ryan. Perhaps Tigers scout Wish Egan was involved in some capacity. And Jack Ryan had some prior history with Detroit baseball, since he played with the ball team in 1900 (prior to Detroit formally joining the American League in 1901). Actually, the price for the pair was around $34 (not $15 as I mistakenly quoted earlier), but regardless, I am extremely pleased with the purchase. Last edited by HexsHeroes; 12-30-2009 at 09:09 AM.

One from Ollie Pickering
Sorry for the bad image, it was a bit hard to shoot in the frame.
I sure would like to know to whom he wrote this, they must have really thought they were pretty good. Note the E107 mounted with the letter  Scott

Great letter regarding Buck O'neil. In my opinion, they really missed the boat on electing him. If he was important enough to have a statue of him put up at the hall of fame, he should also be on the wall.

My note to Fay was short and sweet. I wrote it on a 3x5 index card and it read like this:
Dear Mr. Vincent, I know that you were the chairman of the Negro league committee and did not have a vote,but in regards to the committee's failure to elect Buck O'Neil, YOU BLEW IT ! Sincerely, Jody McMurry
