I don't know what this adds to the 1927 "MIX" but I have a 1927 Yankees check made out to and endorsed by E.J. Herr who was then a scout ($650.00) also have a 1939 Yankees check made out to and endorsed by MARK ROTH who was the travel secretary on the 1927 team signed on the front by Barrow ($350.00) . Sorry this post ended up here instead of the BST but it was (I thought) on topic

So what would be the ultimate master list for the 1927 Yankees autograph collector? The 25 players who got in a game and the manager and coaches are easy but what about scouts, doctor, etc? And for the record, don't worry, just curious, not attempting to assemble the thing!
I tried finding a 2010 Detroit News article about Don Miller but everything led to a dead link - anyone have a copy of it? STAFF Jacob Ruppert - owner Miller Huggins - manager Art Fletcher - coach Charley O'Leary - coach Eddie Bennett - batboy CATCHERS Benny Bengough Pat Collins Johnny Grabowski INFIELDERS Joe Dugan Mike Gazella Lou Gehrig Mark Koenig Tony Lazzeri Ray Morehart Julie Wera PITCHERS Walter Beall Joe Giard Waite Hoyt Don Miller Wilcy Moore Herb Pennock George Pipgras Dutch Ruether Bob Shawkey Urban Shocker Joe Styborski Myles Thomas OUTFIELDERS Earle Combs Cedric Durst Bob Meusel Ben Paschal Babe Ruth |

Some people go for everyone that was in the team picture, so you have got your Spencer Adams, Roy Chesterfield, Don Miller etc. People do care about Doc Woods the Trainer and the front office staff etc too, and like I said before, the batboy.
As far as I know this is the ONLY team people do this with. Even the 1919 White Sox/Reds guys arent that obsessed. Rhys |

Agreed, The 1919 Reds & White Sox are almost as popular from a collecting standpoint as the 1927 Yankees but a distant second and/ or 3rd . I think the reason collectors don't obsess so much about the non active players on those teams is because its near impossible just to complete a roster of either of the 1919 teams.
That being said and while it is not debatable the collectability and popularity of the Murderers Row team, the 1927 Yankees MIGHT NOT have been the greatest team ever. Many historians of the game will argue the 1906 Cubs, 1939 Yankees or 1929 Athletics were better teams overall when considering the greatest team of all time. I'd also throw in the 1934 Cardinals, 1986 Mets & 1905 Giants. ____________________ jim@stinsonsports.com web site stinsonsports.com |

As far as the teams before them, I doubt any of us fully understand what it took to be 'great' during the deadball era. I read a lot of baseball articles from that period and it's like thinking with a different brain.

I am not putting them up with the greatest teams in history but they were a damn good team,,, 108 Wins and they beat Houston in 6 in the NLCS, Game 6 is considered a classic. They only played one playoff series then.
Las Vegas had them as the World Series favorite.

As much as I love and collect those great teams (Black Sox, 27 Yankees, 34 Cards, 60 Pirates, 61 Yanks, etc etc), for my money I think the 98 Yankees could give anyone a run for their money. Also, those 70's Reds teams didn't exactly suck either. |

What about Pete Sheehy? He began his clubhouse career in 1927.

Sheehy definitely has his place in Yankee history. While I wouldn't mind adding his signature to my collection, I didn't think it necessary as part of a 1927 Yankee project. He was actually someone I was on the fence about. I passed on him for two reasons. First, although it marked the begining of his very prominent Yankee career, his role in the clubhouse was likely very limited in 1927. Second, for my 1927 Yankee project the goal was to find all vintage fountain pen signatures. So, I guess the door remains open in the event that a period payroll check should surface.

True. But less limited than the roles played by Miller and Styborski!
