So jealous of that Joe Cronin pass....::drool::

The Cronin pass is kind of fun because his facsimile signature is there as AL President. I missed on a Jocko Conlan pass around the same time the Cronin became available. Cronin likely had other lifetime passes over the years, but this one looks like it had a lot of use.

Here's the very common signature of William Harridge, the former American League president and HoF member. Though a common autograph, this letter might hold some interest. It's written to Hall of Fame player and owner Clark Griffith with content about about getting a season pass to President Eisenhower and VP Nixon. Sometimes a even basic autograph becomes a somewhat decent collectable. The image of the wire photo is of Griffith giving Eisenhower the pass mentioned in the letter. The pieces aren't of great value, but might be of some interest.
