the 1940s continuing with the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox. Minoso was a seven-time American
League All-Star and remains to date one of the most revered figures in White Sox franchise history, having his
No. 9 retired in 1983. The items have been consigned directly by the Minoso family and are being offered for
the first time publicly.
“We felt the timing was right to share some of our treasured memories with the devoted fans of the Chicago
White Sox, a team that Minnie loved so dearly,” said Sharon Minoso, widow of Minnie Minoso. “We are so very
grateful to the White Sox organization for hosting this event and are very glad to have the involvement of Chicago White Sox Charities. Our family felt there could be no other venue to hold such an auction as the team
where Minnie called home for all of those cherished years.”
We are pleased to announce that a portion of the net proceeds from the Minoso Collection will benefit Chicago
White Sox Charities. Each lot will be accompanied by a signed letter of provenance from the Minoso family.

for the 1960 season. Handsome mahogany plinth style base and backsplash having applied engraved brass appointments denoting Minoso’s inclusion
among the American League Gold Glove recipients. The brass placards on base and backsplash each display some mild areas of “pitting” under the

111 Important 1959 Minnie Minoso Chicago White Sox AL Championship ring. Minnie Minoso played for the Chicago White Sox from 1951-57
developing into an elite player with three All-Star appearances and finished within the top five for the AL MVP voting twice. His exceptional play and
leadership, exhibited both on and off the field, played a substantial role in the White Sox resurgence as a winning club during the 1950s era. At the end
of the 1957 season Minoso was traded to the Cleveland Indians for pitcher Early Wynn. The trade proved to be a key move by the club en route to the
“Go Go White Sox” of 1959 who captured the American League pennant. Although Minoso enjoyed several of the finest seasons of his career with the
Indians he was deeply disappointed not to have been able to participate in the magical 1959 season with the White Sox. In December of 1959, White
Sox owner Bill Veeck traded with the Indians again to get Minoso back with the team. In appreciation for all that Minnie had done for the club during the 1950s period in contributing to their success in 1959 Minoso was presented with a 1959 AL Championship ring in the beginning of the 1960
season. It was an unprecedented and significant gesture which clearly illustrated the high regard in which Minoso was held by the White Sox franchise
and Veeck himself.
Offered is the original 1959 Chicago White Sox American League Championship ring as presented to Minoso by Bill Veeck. Elegantly simplistic in
design the 14K gold ring features an inset panel on top with a central diamond having “White Sox” gold inlay on royal blue field. “American League
Champions 1959” lettering encircles the center panel. “O.Minoso” name engraved on the interior ring band along with proper Balfour 14K hallmarks.
Overall condition is very fine with some expected wear to the surface area of the ring top including a small fissure in the blue field under the diamond.
Highly desirable and significant championship ring which is most certainly one of the more important Chicago White Sox championship rings to have
been offered publicly. Includes letter of provenance from the Minoso family: EX ($15,000-$30,000)

and weighs 34oz. Strong usage wear evident throughout with a handle crack. The bat is side written in grease pencil, “34oz. Ben Chapman 5-29-39” indicating return to the factory to be used as
a model for future orders. Accordingly, it was then vault marked “C10” on either end. Although
they would not play on the same team until the 1941 White Sox season, Appling and Chapman
had crossed paths before when both represented the American League at the 1936 All-Star Game. It
was likely at this point, or another meeting, that Chapman secured one of Appling’s bats and took
such a liking to the model that he asked it be used as the template for his future orders. A notably
rare bat with Appling pro model examples seldom offered. Includes LOA from Hunt Auctions: EX

pronounced defect appears on the Moe Berg likeness however we can not determine the extent to which it effects the piece due to framing: GD-VG ($400-$600)

245 Extremely scarce Peanuts Lowery 1945 Chicago Cubs National League Championship ring. The 1945 National season was finally to be “the year”
for baseball fans on the North Side of Chicago. After besting the might St. Louis Cardinals to capture the NL pennant the Cubbies took a 2 games to 1
lead in the World Series over the Detroit Tigers with the series headed back to Chicago. It appeared as though the championship drought was about to
end. Enter Mr. Williams “Billy Goat” Sianis (Owner of Chicago’s famed Billy Goat Tavern). Sianis had purchased two tickets to Game #4 at Wrigley
Field, one for himself and one for “Murphy” his pet Billy Goat. Based on the uncomfortable “aroma” emitted from Murphy the Wrigley Field ushers
asked Sianis to leave the stadium. As legend and local lore have it, Sianis was said to have exclaimed that “The Cubs ain’t gonna win no more. The Cubs
will never win a World Series so long as the goat is not allowed in Wrigley Field.” The rest was history as the Cubs lost 3 of the next 4 games to lose the
Series and the “Curse of the Billy Goat” was born.
The offered 1945 Chicago Cubs NL Championship ring represents the first documented example to have been sold at public auction. Handsome 14K
gold ring fashioned in the classic style of other 1940s era championship rings having a central inset diamond set within a red field. Diamond is surrounded by gold lettering inlaid on blue enamelwork, “National League Champions”. Side panels feature ornate baseball décor with crossed bats, glove,
and ball having “Cubs” titling at top. 1945 dating is found (across both side panels, 19 and 45) near the top portion. Interior ring band is properly
marked 14K with “Peanuts Lowery” name engraved within. Overall condition is outstanding with some relatively minor surface wear predominantly to
the top panel. The scarcity of war time championship rings, particularly NL or AL titles, is well established. The extreme rarity of this particular ring
may well be explained by a combination of factors not limited to war time economics, low player salaries, limited desirability, and the fact that players
themselves were required to purchase the rings. This factor is clearly referenced in Baseball’s Natural: The Eddie Waitkus Story by John Theodore (page
32). Here the author states that “Waitkus even owned a Cubs National League Championship ring, although he was in Japan when the Cubs were winning the pennant. Cubs Owner P.K. Wrigley had the championship ring designed especially for his players-he was proud of his team. But he was not
totally benevolent; the players had to purchase the rings.”
Highly coveted vintage championship ring which ranks among the most sought after of any ring for its type of the era. Includes LOA from Hunt Auctions: EX

file related to “saves” statistic. Although the term

sound method for recording “saves.” Adopted,

J.G. Spink, the pair ran the numbers in his weekly newspaper for (9) years. In 1969, the “save”
was officially adopted by Major League baseball.
Presented is an intact file, as found within the
Holtzman Archive, which appears largely to relate to his work on “saves.” Most notable is a May
27, 1960 file copy typed letter from Holtzman to
Spink in which he first introduces and promotes

his typewritten notes (some recording stats, one
titled “system for pitching saves”), some handwritten notes, correspondence between he and
Spink/The Sporting News, several other letters,
publication clippings/articles, etc. Includes letter of provenance from the Holtman family: EX
