Did Vogt get a ring from Atlanta for '21? He appeared in 26 games, which is way more than I was thinking.

Geddy Lee of Rush is auctioning off 300 items from his massive baseball memorabilia collection. Included in the list are:

quote:

...a 1917 Chicago White Sox ball signed by Shoeless Joe Jackson, a 1942 Negro Leagues ball signed by Josh Gibson, and a Mickey Mantle bat that’s been traced back to the 1960 World Series. He also has a ball signed by The Beatles and four signed by John F. Kennedy.

The Beatles ball and Mantle bat alone are expected to go for $300k each and one of the JFK balls for $100k. He's also selling both of the final out balls from Johnny Vander Meer’s consecutive no-hitters.

https://theathletic.com/5022106/2023/11/06/geddy-lee-rush-baseball-collection/

Also mentioned in the article is the time he bought two huge collections of balls autographed by Negro League players and immediately donated them all to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.

Those are some crazy items

Although I would be very wary of anything purported to have been signed by Shoeless Joe as he was illiterate for most of his life. So more than likely someone else signed it.

You don't sign a guy like Counsell to manage if you're not prepared to do something reckless with the team.

I remember Benji Gil coming up in 1993 heralded as a huge prospect and franchise savior. I want to say I was even at his debut game or at least one very shortly after. What a massive bust he turned out to be.

Edit: Also massive lol that I am now getting SPRING TRAINING PRESALE emails from the Rangers. Who the gently caress buys Spring Training tickets in November?

I have an early memory of going to a Rangers game and filling out an all star ballot and picking all Rangers but when I was about to pick Benji Gil my dad made me pick Cal Ripken Jr. instead.
