Three pieces relating to the Baseball Players Fraternity, one of baseball’s earliest unions.
Lot 63. Three pieces relating to the Baseball Players Fraternity, one of baseball’s earliest unions. Dave Fultz was an outfielder in the early 1900’s. He had two good years with the A’s in 1901-2 and 3 mediocre ones with the Yankees in 1903-5. He took a law degree from Columbia and acquired much greater notoriety starting the Baseball Players Fraternity in 1912, partially in response to Ty Cobb’s suspension. Three items are offered here. First and foremost, an extremely rare Baseball Player’s Fraternity Pin. Red and Gold enamel and in excellent condition. Secondly, a 28 page yearbook of the BBPF from 1915, listing Officers (Fultz, Daubert, Zimmerman, Reulbach, etc), the advisory board and the Board of Directors (Fultz, Cobb, Merkle, etc), 14 pages listing the very considerable membership of the BBPF and the bylaws. The third item is a signed fan letter from David L. Fultz, on his legal stationary in 1943. He would die in 1959. A historic group. GAI/Mike Gutierrez COA.
Minimum Bid $1,000.
