Historically significant original line up cards from the inaugural 1933 All-Star Game. The Great Depression of the 1930s severely damaged American culture as it was known at the time, including the game of baseball, which experienced dwindling crowds and enormous financial challenges. In an effort to spur interest in the national pastime, the sports editor for the Chicago Tribune, Arch Ward, approached officials of the American and National Leagues. Ward's idea was pit the best of both leagues against each other in an All-Star game to be played in Chicago in conjunction with the "Century of Progress Exhibition". Set for Comiskey Park on July 6, 1933, before a huge crowd of 49,200, the game featured the finest players of the period including Gehrig, Gomez, Foxx, Klein, Simmons, Grove, Cronin, Terry, Frisch, and Babe Ruth. Appropriately, the American and National League teams were led by managers Connie Mack and John McGraw, respectively. The two grand old men of baseball had been battling each other on the field for nearly 30 years, dating back to their epic contests as managers of the Philadelphia Athletics and New York Giants. Serving as coaches under manager McGraw were Max Carey and Bill McKechnie, both of whom would eventually be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The offered line up cards from the 1933 All-Star game were discovered within the personal collection of Bill McKechnie. Included are one each for the American and National League teams. Written in the hand of manager Connie Mack, the American League card lists player names including Ruth, Gehrig, Simmons, Cronin, and Grove. The card has been signed "Mack" at the bottom right hand corner by Connie Mack. The National League card was written in the hand of coach Bill McKechnie, listing the names of such players as Frisch, Klein, Hafey, Waner, Wilson, and Hartnett. The card remains unsigned. "Chicago Special Ground Rules" is printed on the reverse of both lineup cards. Appropriately, "Chicago" is printed at the top front of the NL card indicating the home team field (ironically, the stadium was home to the AL White Sox not the NL Cubs). The AL card has no city indication under the title line at the top. Both cards have some light age toning and the backs each have some slight adhesive residue from period scrapbook removal. The AL card has a vertical center line crease and the NL card has a few minor line creases. The front of the cards were originally written in pencil and enhanced, in the period, in black fountain pen by McKechnie himself. Amazingly, included with the lineup cards is a dated July 8, 1958 typewritten note sent to Bill McKechnie from the Sporting News. Signed by Lowell Reidenbaugh of the Editorial Department, the note thanks McKechnie for having loaned the lineup cards to the publication. The cards were featured on page #10 in the July 9, 1958 issue of "The Sporting News" celebrating the history of the All-Star game. An excerpt of the letter written by McKechnie to the Sporting News was printed under an image of the lineup cards, which reads in part, "I am enclosing the official batting orders for the game. Connie Mack made out the American League order and I filled out the National's. I don't believe I kept the substitutions throughout the game." To have primary source, first hand corroboration of such an historic item is exceedingly uncommon, with note to the added fact that the cards are also pictured in the Sporting News. Lineup cards of this magnitude are exceptionally rare for the obvious reason of original scarcity (only a few were issued per game) and the fact that they typically remained with the manager of the team. Together with the 1903 World Series, the 1933 All-Star game defines the word "inception" for Major League play. The countless magical moments that have occurred in the 70+ years since the 1933 game are engrained in the history of baseball and the country itself. The offered lineup cards are without question the most historically significant to have been offered publicly and are almost certainly the most significant of any cards extant today. Includes letter of provenance from James McKechnie (Grandson of Bill McKechnie), a July 9, 1958 issue of the Sporting News, and LOA from James Spence Authentication (Mack signature): VG-EX |

Important 1904 Ohio-Wesleyan University Integrated Baseball Team Imperial Size Cabinet Photo with Charles Thomas and Branch Rickey. Stunning and historically significant original cabinet photo from 1904 measuring 10 1/2"x16 1/2" matted and framed depicting the 1904 Ohio-Wesleyan Base Ball Club. The image quality remains very strong with excellent contrast. There are two areas of heavy creasing at the bottom left and right regions that have been reinforced. The photo remains affixed to its original mount but has been trimmed to the edges of the image (image remains full size and intact). The Ohio-Wesleyan club of 1904 boasted a young and talented African American catcher named Charles Thomas, as well as a young 23-year old manager, Branch Rickey. As with many integrated teams of the era, the team endured bigotry and undue hardships due to the social climate of the period. The story of African American player Charles Thomas and his young manager Branch Rickey is one of incredible significance within the history of baseball. In one well-known incident, Branch Rickey's Ohio-Wesleyan team played in Kentucky to the overt protest of the Kentucky players. When Rickey's team began to take the field with Thomas headed for first base, the Kentucky squad uttered numerous unspeakable racial slurs. Rickey was so incensed that he charged the opposing bench, threatening to take his entire team and leave if Kentucky refused to play with Thomas on the field. Eventually, the Kentucky team restrained itself and played the game. While this incident was well remembered by Rickey, another such occurrence would shape his ideals and, eventually, inspire change of a previously unknown magnitude within the game itself. During a trip to South Bend to play Notre Dame, Branch Rickey was told by the clerk at the Oliver Hotel that the team was welcome except for Charlie Thomas. Rickey would not hear of it and insisted that Thomas be allowed to stay in Rickey's room as an unregistered guest. After threatening to take the entire team elsewhere, Rickey convinced the manager and sent for a cot. Recalling the events that immediately followed, Rickey described how "Tommy stood in the corner, tense and brooding and in silence. I asked him to sit in a chair and relax. Instead, he sat on the end of the cot, his huge shoulders hunched and his large hands clasped between his knees. I tried to talk to the captain, but I couldn't take my gaze from Tommy. Tears welled, ...spilled down his black face and splashed to the floor. Then his shoulders heaved convulsively and he rubbed one great hand over the other with all the power of his body, muttering, 'Black skin....black skin, if I could only make 'em white'. He kept rubbing and rubbing as though he would remove the blackness by sheer friction...." Rickey and Thomas remained good friends for life. In fact, some 15 years later, his friendship with Charles Thomas, who by then had become a successful dentist, was such that when Thomas was denied a grandstand seat in SportsmanÆs Park in St. Louis, where Rickey was currently President of the club, Rickey boycotted his own team. Refusing to attend the game, Rickey spent the afternoon with his longtime friend Charlie Thomas. In Referring to the episode in South Bend, Rickey later explained, "...whatever mark that incident left on the black boy...it was no more indelible than the impressions made on me..." Rickey would hold on to that conviction, eventually bringing Jackie Robinson to the Major Leagues in 1947. The amazing cabinet photograph offered here captures an essential moment in both the story of baseball and American social history. Additionally, the image was prominently featured within Ken Burns' acclaimed documentary "Baseball". This player Charles Thomas, the team, the events at Notre Dame, and RickeyÆs friendship and devotion to Mr. Thomas led, some 43 years later, to the integration of Major League Baseball and the legacy of Jackie Robinson, which continues to this day: EX (With note to crease reinforcement) |
