Re: Most Prized Memorabilia

I got this autograph back in 1980. It went missing for 10 years after my stepfather and mother moved. I finally found it a few years ago and got it matted and framed.

Re: Most Prized Memorabilia

Mine might have to be my 1943-45 Army baseball program vintage signed by every player that played like the Dimaggio brothers (Joe and Dom), Mize, Coach Dickey, and Pee Wee Reese. I want to say a total of about 40 or so signatures. Dont see players going to war now a days, so I guess its unique. I tried cropping a picture about 10 times and continues to say its to big, so I said the hell with it.

I'd love to see scans of this, along with a list of all the names you could make out, if you wouldn't mind. Also, any history, if you have it.

I'm part of a SABR group documenting the service history of MLB players.

Perhaps this is from a Pacific game between service teams? Mize and Reese were in the Navy.

My 1996 Alex Rodriguez Rawlings HR #15 (20th HR of his career) Bat. Only 12 bats were ordered by Arod in 1996. This being 1 of those 12, and being that it's a HR Bat, makes it pretty special bat.

Re: Most Prized Memorabilia

For me it would be my 1950 Ohio State/Michigan program from the famous " now Bowl" game. I saw it on ebay and was out bid the last minute by just $.01 Disappointed, I put it out of my mind till about a week later I got an e-mail from the seller.

It turns out the guy who out beat me couldn't pay for it and everytime he tried his card was being turned down. The seller gave me his contact info and asked if I wanted it, to contact him at his store. I did the next day, gave my credit card and had the program in my hands by then end of the week.

The game was called the "Snow Bowl" because of the blizzard that day. Neither team scored a touchdown with scoring coming off of field goal attempts. The snow made it so hard to see, teams were punting on 1st or 2nd down. Ohio Stadium at the time held just over 80,000 people, but it was reported that under 30,000 made it to the game. Some program were rolled up and lit as torches to help keep warm, while others were just thrown away after the game. To find one in perfect condition is not only hard, but rare.

Another interesting note about the game, it was Francis Schmidt's last as the Buckeye's coach. The next guy hired to replace him, was some guy very few heard of by the name of Wayne Woodrow "Woody" Hayes.
