January pickups

[Scott Garner]

Happy New Year to everyone on net54!

I just received these two October, 1964 professional portraits of Dean Chance and Bo Belinsky that were used in the Melodyland (Anaheim, CA) production of Damn Yankees. As some of you know, I grew up a die-hard Angels fan and Dean Chance was one of my early Angels favorite players.

Angels rookie Bo Belinsky was famous for pitching the 1st no-hitter in Angels history on May 5th, 1962. Additionally, Belinsky was a notorious swinger dating Hollywood starlets like Mamie Van Doren, Tina Louise and marrying Playboy Playmate Jo Collins. Belinsky, described by some as a confirmed flake, had a dry acerbic East Coast sense of humor. This signed and inscribed early 1960's Angels yearbook that I own, says it all. Typical Bo...

1964 was a banner year for Angels All Star pitcher/ Bo Belinsky wingman Dean Chance. In 1964 Chance earned the Cy Young award, the 1st in Angels history.

In 1967, Dean Chance had another banner year while pitching for the Minnesota Twins. On August 6th, 1967 Chance pitched an unofficial perfect game (5 innings) at Minnesota. 19 days later on August 25, 1967 Chance also pitched a no-hitter.

BTW, Dean Chance was a high school multi-sport standout that got offered over 100 college scholarships.
As a pitcher, Chance dominated in high school, pitching 18 no-hitters and winning over 50 games vs. only 1 loss.

Both photo portraits were shot by Orange County professional photographer Rolland Hendrickson and were developed in his own darkroom and signed by Hendrickson.

That autograph notation is AMAZING

Don't know anything about this supplement, but I like it.

Haven't found any info on the interwebs yet, but need to put more effort into it.

On April 23, 1946 Bob Feller pitched his 2nd of 3 career no-hitters.
He always said this was by far the best one that he ever pitched.
The reason was obvious:
He pitched it against a dominant NY Yankees team stacked with great hitting team that included 3 HOF'ers: Joe DiMaggio, Bill Dickey and Joe Gordon.

Here is an original birds-eye photo that I just picked up of Rapid Robert pitching to Joe D. in what he viewed as his peak career moment on the mound.

A few small pickups arrived this week.

A few wire photos (I think two are Type 3) and a '38 World Series Stub.

New York Yankees vs. the St Louis Browns June 16, 1953: Browns win 3-1 over the Yanks. This was the final year of the St Louis Browns before the team moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles.

St Louis Browns at Chicago White Sox: Browns lose 0-5.

American League Representatives Meet: My guess is that this was at the 1954 All-Star Game which was held in Cleveland on that day (July 13, 1954).

1938 World Series Game 2: Yankees at Chicago Cubs. Lefty Gomez vs Dizzy Dean on the mound. Dizzy didn't have a great game - he gave up 3 HRs to Joe DiMaggio and Frank Crosetti. Gehrig and DiMaggio contributed 6 of 14 triples. Yankees win the game 6-3.
