Important 1969 Gil Hodges New York Mets professional model road jersey. Road grey flannel shirt features New York lettering on front with Hodges #14 on left breast and on back in blue felt. Embroidered Mets logo patch appears on left sleeve. The absence of the 1969 MLB 100th Anniversary sleeve patch suggests that it was removed to allow for the jersey to be used again in 1970. Wilson tag is stitched on front tail noting size "44". Flannel strip tag in collar notes "14-44-69 Set 2" in black chain stitch. Shirt exhibits moderate usage wear and remains is spectacular original condition with outstanding display quality. Gil Hodges was loved by players and fans alike during his prolific career as player and manager. As a player for the Brooklyn Dodgers he anchored the infield on six pennant winners, and remains one of the most beloved and admired players in team history. Hodges joined the Mets after being chosen in the expansion draft in 1962. Despite knee problems he was persuaded to continue his playing career in New York, and he hit the first home run in franchise history before retiring as a player a year later. In 1968 Hodges was brought back to manage the perennially woeful Mets, and while the team only posted a 73-89 record it was nonetheless the best mark in their seven-year existence. In 1969, Hodges helped pull off a "miracle", managing the New York Mets to the 1969 World Series title, one of the greatest upsets in Series history. Hodges was named The Sporting News' Manager of the Year for 1969. Without question, this is amongst the most historically significant New York Mets artifacts we've had the pleasure to offer.

Rare Roy Campanella 1952 World Series Louisville Slugger professional model bat. Louisville Slugger 125 model bat measures 35 1/2" long and weighs 34.2oz. Stampings on the barrel end include special notation "World Series 1952", player name "Campanella" in block letters and team designation "Brooklyn Dodgers". The bat exhibits evident use including ball marks, cleat marks, rack marks, and general surface wear. Model #G80 is stamped on the knob end. Roy Campanella game bats are among the scarcest HOF'er bats of his era and are highly prized by collectors in any form. World Series models are an extreme rarity with this example being the first we've encountered. This bat has never before been offered publicly and originates from the family of a gentleman whose godmother was a family friend and neighbor of the Campanella's when they lived in Hollis Queens. According to family history, the bat was received from the Campanellas in the mid 1950's and reportedly hung over a bar in Campy's home. A mounting hole had been drilled in the top of the handle measuring approx. 1/2" but has been professionally repaired. The 1952 World Series was a heated seven-game affair that saw Campanella go 6 for 28 against the cross-town rival New York Yankees before the Bronx Bombers handed the Dodgers another dose of "Wait 'til next year". The bat retains outstanding display quality and is unquestionably one of the finest Campanella bats to have ever surfaced in the marketplace. Includes LOA from Hunt Auctions: EX |

Jackie Robinson single signed baseball. Spalding "Official Baseball" features an early career-contemporary version of Jackie Robinson's signature on a side panel in bold blue ballpoint rating 8-9 out of 10. The ball itself is off-white with light soiling and a tiny scratch just below the signature (unobtrusive and mentioned strictly for the sake of accuracy). All of the manufacturer's stampings are pronounced and legible. Career-contemporary Jackie Robinson single signed baseballs are quite scarce with most high grade Jackie singles having been signed in his retirement years. Jackie Robinson's ability on the field notwithstanding, he is also one of the most important figures of the twentieth century due to his breaking of baseball's color barrier in 1947 and his lifelong contributions as a civil rights activist.

Significant 1933 Negro League "East-West" All-Star game ticket stub. Rare original stub issued for the "National Colored All-Star Baseball Game" played at Chicago's Comiskey Park. To mirror the Major Leagues, which instituted a national All-Star Game in 1933, the owner of the Pittsburgh Crawfords, Gus Greenlee, organized the inaugural Negro League All-Star game. Greenlee arranged for fans to vote on the players who would participate primarily through several prominent African American newspapers of the period, such as the Chicago Defender and Pittsburgh Courier. The game became known as the East/West Classic and continued as an annual tradition through 1962. The offered ticket is the first example that we have handled and presents very nicely with some light creasing throughout. Includes letter of provenance from the Mitchell family: VG |
