[ndevlin22]

I dont know about any of you guys, but I love old minor league baseballs and pictures. I know you guys have some out there. Lets see them! I'll start with one. My 1946 Scranton Red Sox ball.

I have an old 1965 Pittsfield Red Sox program w/ numerous autographs. Unfortunately they are in pencil and a little difficult to see.
I was 10 yrs old and had the program signed at a game.

Well the reason why I ask is because I have a game used bat of his. I bought it because of his coaching resume. But come to find out, there were three Jim Dietz that played in the minors. I believe it to be the Jim Dietz that played from 1962-70 in the minors, and then started his coaching career. Anyyyyways, I found a site for you that you might find some interest in. Take care!

Walter Mails, early 20th century Pacific Coast League pitching star, had a pretty good but brief run in the majors. Ball is official PCL.
