September 23, 1908. The most controversial game in baseball history. I got the lowdown from the horse's mouth.
Don't have much but do have an old baseball signed by Jim and Gaylord Perry when they were with the Indians in 1974 - a combined won/loss record of 38-25 with both under 3.00 ERA. Too late tonight to take pictures but I'll post some tomorrow.

galaxy27 actually gifted me with an autographed Buster Douglas boxing glove a while back, that is my most prized sports memorbilia, Tokyo Douglas was a beast, he certainly seized the moment that night!
My father got a baseball signed in person by Ted Williams back in 1960/61 at a baseball camp in the Boston area, he gave it to me back in 1980.
I have been fortunate enough to meet a number of MLB hofers over the years. got balls/bats signed by most of them: Frank Thomas, Willie mays, whitey ford, frank robinson, piazza, Henderson, maddux, etc.
probably enjoyed the big hurt the most. willie mays, the most disappointing.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Amazing treasure right there.
I have two 70's KISS albums I got signed myself, in person by Gene Simmons, and Paul Stanley, backstage at a concert in Columbus 17 yrs ago.

This is from the first day Mickey Mantle wore the Yankees uniform, a road jersey on the back of a September call up, way back in 1950…
…and the charm given away on Mother’s Day 1967, which was also, coincidentally, the day of Mickey’s 500th HR.

I have a lot of memorabilia. I have T206’s. I have in person signatures of my sport hero, Jack Kemp.
My best memorabilia is:
Waking up at 8:00 on game day. Going to Your Host on Main Street for breakfast, leaving the car there and walking to War Memorial Stadium. Watching the player warm up for a 1:00 pm Bills game. Watching the Bills games with my father from 1963 until they built the new stadium in circa 1970.
Yes that’s my best memories and memorabilia
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Ok, you win. that is the best memorabilia...
I certainly cherish all the sporting memories with my dad as well.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
I take it you got to see the juice in his prime. all of his off-field stuff notwithstanding, he must have been quite a remarkable athlete to see in person.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Signed basketball from1962 Buckeyes. My most treasured keepsake that is worth nothing to anyone but me are needles to put air into the ball given tome in person by John Havlicek.

He was. I saw every home game and some away games when we went to New York and Cleveland. I remember thinking when the Juice retired how in the world would the Bills go on. Lol. We’d also see him partying around town with Al Cowlings. Once word got around he was at Mulligans you couldn’t get near the place.

I'm sure the signature is perfectly legible. His handwriting was very good. And he was always open and very friendly about giving fans an autograph. Nice guy.
Here's pic of the Perry Bros sigs. I notice the ball is dated from 1970 to 1973 (Joseph Cronin).
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Probably my game-used bats of Dave Winfield & Willie McCovey, along with 20 players from the 1984 Padres (including Tony Gwynn). The only regular I'm missing from 1984 is Kurt Bevacqua.

I like those program/ scorecards!.....Many, many years ago someone dumped a load of trash out by my gate. Cardboard boxes. I went through it and like another member said, " One's man trash is another man's treasure. " There were a lot of old St. Louis Cardinals scorecards from the 1940's and 50's. Most were water damaged but not all. I thought they were so cool. Stan The Man! It was just so neat reading the box scores. People don't do that anymore at the game.... Too busy scarfing nachos and slamming beer........GET YOUR PROGRAM! ...GET YOUR PROGRAM! 25¢! GET YOUR PROGRAM!.......25¢!.....long ago,.....you can't bring back the past.....too bad.
Thanks but I really just posted so I could circle back and see this 100 year old NYG piece!
On with it man!

I will definitely post a pic of it soon, it’s at my parents house..
This is a San Diego Chargers 1963 AFL Championship Ring. It was given to me, and the circumstances behind the gift make it likely the most meaningful piece I have. It also represents the only major sports championship the City of San Diego has ever experienced, and looks to be the only big football championship we will ever have.
Some great stuff!
Before I tell you about my most treasured item, I want to tell a story about an item I didn't get.......It was 1963/64? Dodger Stadium Dodgers/Astros. Pre game warm ups were over and the Astros were coming into the dugout. There I was with my scorecard and pen wanting an autograph. Well, here comes Rusty Staub. Remember him? Anyway, I asked for his autograph and he said, "Kid, come back after the game and I'll sign that." So...I sat through the whole game so excited that after the game good ole Rusty and I were going to meet up. Game over. I go to the dugout......and wait, and wait. No Rusty. The lights begin to go out, the sprinklers come on and still no Rusty. An usher came along and said it was time to leave. My Dad gave me that fatherly knowing look. That's not the end of the story. I wrote a letter to Rusty and reminded him all about it. Well,....later on he sent me an autographed picture and some other stuff with an apology note. In my young boy mind he went from being an all time jerk to an o.k. guy!
