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.

Re: Lets see your old Minor league autographs!

I have a bunch of this kind of stuff. Most of mine are Nebraska related minor league teams which is my collecting specialty.

1960 Lincoln Chiefs baseball (Three I League)


1938 Lincoln Links (Nebraska State League)


1936 Beatrice Blues (Nebraska State League)


1949 Colorado Springs Skysox (Western League) -Sam Hairston -the last Negro League MVP signed this ball


1952 Omaha Cardinals Lineup card signed by the manager George Kissel


Here is a group of 1930s Minor League balls from the estate of Vern Voegler -1937, 1938 Clinton Owls (Three I League), 1939 Cedar Rapids Raiders (Three I League) and the Beatrice ball. The second ball from left is not an autographed ball, but the final out in a big game for Clinton.


This final ball is not autographed, but is a trophy ball from the 1904 Omaha Western League Champions - it came from the estate of Del Howard

Re: Lets see your old Minor league autographs!

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.

FYI - this is available for sale or trade.
