Offered is a scrapbook that measures 14” x 11” in size that has several pages with cut outs from Bay Area newspapers, scorecards, programs, etc that have been taped into the scrapbook. Autographs were obtained in-person from a young (at the time) Bay area autograph collector.
Approximately 300 autographs inside this scrapbook (some have tape over the signatures – please see scans – we pictured pretty much everything inside the scrapbook). Most of these were obtained from the mid-late 50s. Most of these autographs are from future and former Major League ballplayers. Most of the signatures are from Seals players, but many are from other PCL players (opposing teams – see photos). Some really tough autographs are within. Many of the players are in duplicates inside this scrapbook.
Highlights include:
Bill Abernathie, Bbbay Adams, Ken Aspromonte, Dick Aylward (D. 1983), Cuno Barragan, Clay Bryant, Jerry Casale, Billy DeMars, Bob DiPietro, Harry Dorish, Eli Grba, Pumpsie Green, (14) JOE GORDON (BB HOF) Grady Hatton, Leo Hughes (Trainer for the Seals), Marty Keough, (15) Frank Kellert (D. 1976 at age 52 – member of the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers), Leo Kiely, Clyde King, Jim Konstanty (D. 1976), Don Lehhardt, Red Lynn (D. 1977), Jim Mahoney, Walter Mails (D. 1974), Harry Malmberg (D. 1976 at age 51), Frank Malzone, Walt Masterson, Albie Pearson, Jack Phillips, Duane Pilette, Bill Renna, Leo Righetti, Ed Sadoski, Bob Smith, Haywood Sullivan, Max Surkont, Tom Umphlett, Fred Walters,Charlie White (Braves and Negro Leagues)(D. 1998), Earl Wilson, Gordie Windhorn, Glenn Wright.
