Rob I have no idea where the photo shoot occurred. Kenny that's a very cool photo. Either those A's were undersized or Mack was very tall for a catcher.

Default Mack was a tall catcher!
Although Baseball reference lists both Connie Mack and Ty Cobb as 6' 1" tall, other sources list Mack at 6' 2".

Kid Gleason is listed at 5' 7" tall. Eddie Collins was 5' 9". Zack Wheat was listed at 5' 10 " tall.

Based on the fact that the photo has Mack towering over the other players, makes me suspect that perhaps he is standing on the higher end of an incline.

Picked up this Fatima advertising piece in LOTG auction. Was surprised how big it is . I put an 8x10 with it to show the size

Normally I loath anything remotely related to yard work. However, I was awfully tempted by that shovel. Great pick up, I m more than a bit jealous. In the listing it stated, "THE MEANS IN WHICH THIS SHOVEL WAS OBTAINED WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE WINNING BIDDER ONLY." Can you share the shovels provenance?

I had been watching it for a while and finally pulled the trigger. It came from Joe O'Toole family

Default The baseball Hall in its infancy.
Just picked up this letter. Signed by AL president William Harridge, it was very reasonable. Really like the content. Notice the last sentence of the letter.

Here's the link to the page that features the letter.

Default Famous Ryan vs. Ventura fight signed game used dugout card 8/4/93 @ TEX
I've owned this game used White Sox dugout card (9" x 15") from the famous 1993 Ryan vs. Ventura fight game for a couple of years now. The plan all along has been to get it signed by both Nolan Ryan and Robin Ventura.

Today I received it back from a Ventura private signing in So Cal & it looks great.
Ventura has notoriously shied away from signing anything associated with this game, so this is a definite win.
One down and Nolan Ryan to go...

This dugout card joins the home and away signed umpire lineup cards from the same game that I own as well.
I managed to find both of them at the National in Chicago 10-15 years ago. I'd love to find the Texas home dugout card from this game to complete the set.
