  • Al Brancato This Article Was Written by David E
    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.

    Clean Sweep: The Sweet Spot for Auctions The sports memorabilia business seems to have an auction literally every day, not to mention ebay. Some auctions are telephone book size catalogs with multiple examples of the same item (thus negatively affecting prices) while others are internet-only auctions that run for a short time and have only been in business for a relatively short time (5 years or less). Clean Sweep Auctions is the sweet spot of sports auction companies. We have been in business for over 20 years and have one of the deepest and best mailing lists of any auction house. Do not think for a second that a printed catalog in addition to a full fledged website will not result in higher prices for your prized collection. Clean Sweep has extensive, virtually unmatched experience in working with all higher quality vintage cards, autographs and memorabilia from all of the major sports. Our catalogs are noted for their extremely accurate descriptions, great pictures and easy to read layout, including a table of contents. Our battle tested website is the best in the business, combining great functionality with ease of use. Clean Sweep will not put your cherished collection in random or overly large lots, killing the potential to get a top price. We can spread out your collection over different types of auctions, maximizing prices. We work harder and smarter than anyone in the business to bring top dollar for your collection at auction. Clean Sweep is extremely well capitalized, with large interest-free cash advances available at any time.
