August pick ups.

By far, my favorite Cleveland Indians Spring Training Roster booklet from the 1930s to early 1950s is the 1941 issue, featuring Bob Feller in a pitching motion in the background. A few years ago I was fortunate to pick up the green version, which is all I expected to be available. I am now happy to add a yellow version roster, featuring the same Bob Feller picture in the background. The information is identical across both items, and the semi gloss paper is a match, just a different color. Now I am wondering if there are other versions out there to be found!

Very cool, Jason. I've seen neither. Nice post!

[Bumpus Jones]

Nice pickup Jason. Those look nice together.

Harry Wolter H&B, c 1919. I don't buy many bats these days but super happy to find and add this one. Wolter (also commonly called Wolters) was with the Highlanders for much of his major league career. This bat would have been from his final playing seasons in the PCL. The bat has "Harry Wolter" side-writing.



1917, similar style bat (photo lifted from RMY):



And...just because it's one of my favorite baseball photos, Wolter (dog in lap) with Boston, 1909:

It has been an amazing month for my Rockford Peaches collection....First of all I added a Graig Kreindler painting to the room of probably the best player in the AAGPBL---Dottie Kamenshek and then topped it off couple of days ago by acquiring an original game used Rockford Peaches hat from the player directly! I am smiling.

Nice addition Jason! I have never seen a green version. Will add it to my pocket schedule/spring training roster checklist.

17" Tall and made of bronze

Beautiful bronze Bob. The image seems to be earlier than the 1880’s, is there a story to the dating?

[GaryPassamonte]

Good for you, Dave.

Very nice, Bob.

There is a date around the base that has 1886 on it. I am guessing that the player's uniform dates it earlier but the statue was created in 1886.
