Let's see some old handwritten letters!
I'll start off - this letter is written from Wally Schang to Jim McNulty, President of the Northern League in the 1930s. Apparently they were supposed to meet up at the winter meetings and missed each other in the crowded lobby - alas, if only there were cell phones at the time!

In keeping with my 'non-MLer' leanings, here's a letter written in 1904 to the baseball manager of a nearby town, by a regular guy who simply wanted to play ball as much as possible:

Guy Bush, Babe's chief tormentor in that "called Shot game" in the 1932 World Series. In the very next game in that 1932 World Series, Bush was the starting pitcher and hit Babe on the arm in his very first at bat, no accident. Now they meet again 3 years later, 1935. Bush remembers.

Tom Zachary, not so kind to The Bam on that number 60 in 1927. Tom said he made a mistake. Join the club Tom, I wonder how many other pitchers thought they made a mistake pitching to the Sultan.
In the very next year 1928 Tom joins the Yankees.

Do you know anything about Danahy?
"The Curveless Wonder," pitcher Al Orth:
Hey David. I have a photo belonging to Peggy's father, Walter. Seems he was a collector and maybe she was, too! Do you know anything about the family or at least the history of your letter??? Thanks. Matt
