The Personal Collection of Charles "Chili" Davis

The following lots 99-163 originate from the personal collection of Chili Davis. Chili played for several teams during his fine 19 year career including San Francisco Giants (1981-87), California Angels (1988-90, 1993-96), Minnesota Twins (1991-92), Kansas City Royals (1997) and New York Yankees (1998-99). He is the first ballplayer born in Jamaica to appear in a major league game and is arguably the greatest Jamaican baseball player in MLB history. In his 19-year career, Davis was a .274 hitter with 350 home runs and 1372 RBI in 2436 games. Chili captured three World Championship rings with the Minnesota Twins (1991), and New York Yankees (1998 and 1999). Recognized as one of the most feared switch hitters in the game his (350) career home runs rank only behind Mickey Mantle, Eddie Murray, and Chipper Jones in MLB history. We are pleased to offer these fine items which vividly represent the rich period within baseball of the 1980-90s period. Appropriately, with a nod to the host city of the 2010 MLB All-Star Game, the collection boats numerous California Angels related materials of significance.

The Personal Collection of Forrest "Spook" Jacobs

The following lots 314-353 originate from the personal collection of Forrest "Spook" Jacobs. Spook Jacobs played professional baseball for 17 seasons. He won the 1948 MVP Award while playing for Asheville Tourists in the Tri-Sate League and won batting titles in both Cuba and Panama. On opening day in 1954, he did something no other rookie has ever done collecting 4 base hits in his first 4 major league at bats. No other rookie has equaled that feat before or since on opening day and it remains the major league record. A speedy second baseman, Spook was known for his aggressive style on the base paths. Always a fine fielder, he proved to be a great contact hitter as well, striking out only about 4% of his total plate appearances.

He is a member of both the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame and the Delaware Sports Hall of Fame.

Spook has always enjoyed collecting baseball related memorabilia and we are pleased to share these items with the public.
