Nifty 1945 NY giants letterhead. Letter from Jack Schwarz (director of player development for the New York and San Francisco Giants. He joined the Giants in the 1930s as a junior assistant and he was a part of the organization until his retirement in 1982. One of his biggest signings may have been the deal that brought Willie McCovey to the Giants in 1955.) to NY Mirror writer Ken Smith.
I can't find Denardo listed anywhere in majors or minors records, so I guess he didn't pan out. It's interesting to hear him gloat about stealing prospect Billy Gardner.

This is a pretty incredible letter, one of the few Gehrig pieces you'll ever find dating beyond his July 4, 1939 farewell speech. It's just another bit of evidence to illustrate what a great man he was--taking the time to try to help a stranger when he was dealing with such an incredibly difficult time in his own life.

December 31, 1946 two-page handwritten letter by actor CAMERON MITCHELL in response to columnist JIMMIE FIEDLER's inquiry regarding Mitchell's potential interest in playing the role of pitcher MONTY STRATTON in the movie "The Stratton Story"...the role of Stratton was landed by JAMES STEWART...the film also features NY YANKEES Hall of Fame catcher BILL DICKEY and PHILADELPHIA A's / CHICAGO WHITE SOX Third baseman JIMMY DYKES.
letter references Mitchell playing with future major league pitcher KEN RAFFENSBERGER on 1934-35 York, PA American Legion Team, as well as Mitchell's "chance to go south with the St. Louis Cards". DS |
