I recently referenced that I obtained some new additions to my collection. The first from that list is Joe Sewell, a two-time World Series champion who played for the Indians and Yankees over his 13 year career. Sewell was notorious for being difficult to strike out, and still holds the record for the longest streak without a strike out at 115 games! While writing in his lifespan in the title of this blog I was surprised to note that he was born in the 1800s... amazing!
These were from an old collection of through-the-mail index card signatures, and Sewell has been deceased for several years.
