ARCHIVE OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL LEFT HANDED PITCHER RONALD COLEMAN.

Archive consists of 2 vintage Rawlings gloves, a later Rawlings glove and a vintage pair of cleats in a roll-up canvas bag with ink inscription “Ronald Coleman, Reno, Nevada”. There are 7 telegrams from 1920 offering Coleman pitching positions from various Western minor league baseball leagues. Coleman had pitched 3 no hit, no run games in 1919 which is a semi-pro record as stated on his accompanying gold medal which measures about 1-1/4″ round. He went on to pitch for the National Champs in the Tribune League 1922-23, “The SAMS”. There are about 20 newspaper clippings in this lot from the 1920’s with box scores and other news on Coleman. Among the last, from 1925, is a clipping stating that Coleman has been promised a try out from the Chicago Nationals. CONDITION: The two vintage gloves and cleats are sound and solid, showing years of use. Soiling, yet still flexible and labels can be read. Telegrams and news clippings are well preserved and overall very good with minor reductions, with folds starting. 49711-2 (1,500-3,000) – Lot 2346
