Here's a Lefty Grove Testimonial Dinner Program from Saturday, June 8, 1940. Lefty signed it on the inside of the front cover.

1944 Sampson US Naval Training Center vs. Lyconing Aviation program
Here is a cool pickup that I scored tonight on eBay related to Johnny Vander Meer's baseball stint in the Navy:
An original program to the game played on August 13, 1944 between The US Naval Training Center (Sampson, NY) vs. Laconing Aviation of Williamsport, PA. Apparently Lyconing got smoked 14-1 in this one. If you look at Vandy's team roster, it obviously stacked with several MLB players. Sampson was apparently undefeated to other 22 other baseball teams that included the Cleveland Indians, Boston Braves, Boston Red Sox and Vandy's former ML Cincinnati Reds team up to this point in their season. I can't imagine that many of these scorebooks survived WWII. Certainly primitive looking, but that was a sign of the times I suppose... This is a great complimentary piece to other items that I own related to Vandy's stint at Sampson. I also included my favorite other piece from this era. A signed photo of Vandy's entire basic training class (Company 347) at Sampson in March of 1944. Last edited by Scott Garner; 12-25-2016 at 10:07 AM. |
