I was happy to receive this in the mail today. My Pops went to Illinois and would always talk about Red Grange, the Galloping Ghost. I am trying to research the photographer (H.F. Duncan), but from what I can gather, he was a local photographer that would take photos for The University of Illinois' yearbook. A very similar, but not exact match to this photo is found in the 1925 yearbook, so I would think this 5x7 image dates to around 1924. Unsure if it's an original type 1, but the signature is vintage fountain pen

I saw that Grange, but I mainly collect only Minnesota related football. That is one incredible photo. Nice pick up

Thanks Jason, I appreciate it! I take it then that you are a big Nagurski guy?

I recently picked up a signed full ticket to Rocket Roger Clemens' 1st 20 strikeout game on April 29, 1986. In this game Clemens became the first player to fan 20 in a 9 inning game surpassing Nolan Ryan's 19 K AL record set in 1974. In 1996, 10 years later, Clemens duplicated the feat becoming the only pitcher to strike out 20 twice in a ML career. Only Tom Cheney (21 K's in 15 innings), Kerry Wood and HOF Randy Johnson have also struck out 20 or more in a ML game.

This ticket matches up well with the signed full ticket that I own from Roger's 2nd 20 K game in 1996 @ DET.
