Charlie Gehringer (1903-1993)



All the way back in March I purchased two more index card autographs from an eBay seller, but neglected to put up a post adding them to my collection here on the blog. 

The second is former player Charlie Gehringer, nicknamed "The Mechanical Man". He was a second baseman who played 19 seasons for the Detroit Tigers. Gehringer was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1949, and passed away in 1993. 

Earl Weaver (1930-2013)



All the way back in March I purchased two more index card autographs from an eBay seller, but neglected to put up a post adding them to my collection here on the blog. 

The first is former manager, Earl Weaver, a minor league player who never made it to the big leagues but had a Hall of Fame career as a manager for the Baltimore Orioles. He was also known as an author and television broadcaster. Weaver passed away in 2013.

Weaver is the 50th Hall of Fame autograph in my collection!
