As some of you may know, one of the focuses of my collection are line-up cards signed by managers who are in the HOF. Line-up cards are generally filled out (and often signed) by managers before each game as part of the rule that line-ups must be established before a game starts. The cards are written on carbon paper so that there are 3 copies: the top handwritten copy and 2 carbon copies. They are a pretty unique item because each game only has 1 (or 3 depending on how you look at it).

Before Casey Stengel was a Yankee legend he managed in the Pacific Coast League, which was an independent league on the West Coast before the MLB moved out there.

As Wikipedia explains: "The 1948 Oaks were nicknamed the "Nine Old Men" in that many of the star players were older veterans of the major leagues, including Ernie Lombardi, Cookie Lavagetto, Nick Etten and Catfish Metkovich. There were younger players on the team as well, including rookie second baseman Alfred "Billy" Martin. Rooming with Martin and playing shortstop was Artie Wilson, the first black player on the Oaks since Jimmy Claxton was fired. Wilson won the PCL batting title with a .348 average and also led in stolen bases with 47. In 1950, he led the PCL in runs with 168 and hits with 264, helping the Oaks to the 1950 PCL championship."

Following the season Stengel was hired by the Yankees. These 2 are from the 1948 Oakland Oaks.

Mariano Rivera is least valuable guy on the card (not often that happens). It's a very unique addition to my Mo collection. Very happy it's all jersey pieces, I'm not into bat pieces.
