    Al Brancato This article was written by David E. Skelton The fractured skull Philadelphia Athletics shortstop Skeeter Newsome suffered on April 9, 1938 left a gaping hole in the club’s defense. Ten players, including Newsome after he recovered, attempted to fill the void through the 1939 season. One was Al Brancato, a 20- year-old September call-up from Class-A ball who had never played shortstop professionally. Enticed by the youngster’s cannon right arm, Athletics manager Connie Mack moved him from third base to short in 1940. On June 21, after watching Brancato retire Chicago White Sox great Luke Appling on a hard-hit grounder, Mack exclaimed, “There’s no telling how good that boy is going to be.”1 Though no one in the organization expected the diminutive (5-feet-nine and 188 pounds) Philadelphia native’s offense to cause fans to forget former Athletics infield greats Home Run Baker or Eddie Collins, the club was satisfied that Brancato could fill in defensively. “You keep on fielding the way you are and I’ll do the worrying about your hitting,” Mack told Brancato in May 1941.2 Ironically, the youngster’s defensive skills would fail him before the season ended. In September, as the club spiraled to its eighth straight losing season, “baseball’s grand old gentleman” lashed out. “The infielders—[Benny] McCoy, Brancato and [Pete] Suder—are terrible,” Mack grumbled. “They have hit bottom. Suder is so slow it is painful to watch him; Brancato is erratic and McCoy is—oh, he’s just McCoy, that’s all.” 3 After the season ended Brancato enlisted in the US Navy following the country’s entry into the Second World War.

In order for this theme to hit home, I needed the character called Greg Larson, along with the reader, and (for the most part) the narrator, to discover this world of minor league baseball at the same time. This would allow me to tease the illusion—to set up baseball as this grand nostalgic enterprise in the beginning in a way that all three of us could believe it (with the exception of some expository asides from the narrator).

  • TO MY FELLOW HOBBYISTS, with Our First Auction of the Year Now Behind Us, We Embark on Round 2 for 2009
    TO MY FELLOW HOBBYISTS, With our first auction of the year now behind us, we embark on Round 2 for 2009. In honor of the 100th anniversary of the T206 set, our current auction features a completely SGC graded base set missing only the “Big 4.” The Plank and Magie are offered as well. Our much-discussed innovation of a “tiered buyer's premium” was met with mostly positive comments, so we are sticking with it. It really does put more money in the consignors' pocket for high-end items and saves money for bidders as well. We, as always, welcome your feedback, which keeps us focused and committed to bringing you the best auction in all facets. Our team at Huggins and Scott has once again assembled a fantastic array of rare, unusual and one-of-a-kind items for this sale. Dave Stoddard continues to outdo himself, adding new features that keep our site simple and user friendly. Our head writer Kevin Heffner has added yet another writer to his staff, Randy (Country) Curtis, who joins Mark Raines, James Feagin, and Matt Flores as the pen and ink, while Collin Corbin and his staff have again treated us to some stunning images. Mark Spinrad and Jamey Austin have swept the catalog for #@%#”s, while Josh Wulkan and Stefan Wisinski have given Mike and Sally Henry the “canvas and paint” they need for them to create another masterpiece. Kris Fraley did another amazing job, sending out almost 1400 lots in a safe and timely manner. Great job, Kris!! Barry Malkin's eagle eyes have once again spotted some high-grade gems!! Our constantly growing nationwide staff of consignor reps (now at 35 strong), led by the tireless Steve Dickler, have gathered another fine assortment of “goodies.” Should you have items or an entire collection you are thinking about selling, a full list of our well-quali- fied reps, along with their contact info, is available in this catalog.
