Default My Ruth

This is my Ruth that I had posted a few months back in the prewar section and forgot to put up here. This is my center piece to my collection. It's a postcard of the Babe with Ruppert on the day of his signing in 1933. Thought you guys might enjoy it.

Here is a newspaper clip from that day as well. I know mine version of his signature is not worth $52K but maybe someday I hope! HA!

What I love about the Ruth though is you never seem him sign his first name along with his nickname. That is what really drew me to the card.

Default Bobo

I just picked up this great first generation photo of "Bobo" Holloman following his no-hitter on 5/6/53.

Holloman's background story was an interesting one. In 1953, the 27-year- old rookie, made the show with the St. Louis Browns, but was not getting much of an opportunity to pitch on the big club. Bobo Holloman was never short of confidence. In fact, he was his own #1 fan.

Up to this point in the 1953 season he was relegated to only eating up meaningless innings. The entire season he kept asking Brownies Mgr. Marty Marion to give him one start so that he could show him what he really could do.

Bobo finally got his chance on May 6th, 1953. In his first ML start, Holloman no-hit the light hitting Philadelphia A's 6-0 in front of only 2473 fans at home in St. Louis.

Holloman never recaptured the magic of his no-hitter game. In fact, he was back in the minors less than 3 months later, never to return again...

Default 1938 Dixie Lid Premium Bob Feller

For some reason this was one of those items that has eluded me for years. I finally picked up this one to complete my collection of all eight of the 1937 and 1938 Dixie Lid Premiums. I think they are one of the most attractive issues of the 1930s.
