Lost Legend Display
A slice of lost ball‑park glory, delivered in glass and walnut.
It showed up just after dawn: a lock‑boxed crate with the Royal Diamond logo, sun bleached into the pine. No sender, no invoice, only a pencilled note that read
“For the Blackwood file.” Sam pried it open and found a wall‑mount shelf carrying
three relics of a career that ended mid‑swing.
Piece / Description
- Game‑used bat
Hand‑turned hickory, model 27 ¾. A brass plate screwed to the support reads:
“JOHNNY ‘RED’ MARLOWE • GAME‑USED BAT • OCT 3 1949 • BROOKLYN BATS – FINAL INNING.”
- A faded pencil note on the barrel says “Game of my life – J.M.”
- Autographed ball & rookie card
Housed together under the left‑hand glass. The ball’s red seams cradle a
weather‑soft signature: Johnny Marlowe. Tucked beside it, a 1949 rookie card shows
the slugger grinning beneath the old Brooklyn cap, bat raised sky‑high.
- 1940 All‑Star Game ticket
Encased separately to the right: a lower‑grand‑stand stub for Sportsman’s Park,
St. Louis MO – July 9 1940. Row 11, Seat 14. Creases mark where someone folded
and refolded it during nine nervous innings.
The comet that blinked out
Johnny “Red” Marlowe was the kind of hitter newspaper boys learned to pronounce
before they could spell. Then came the ninth inning on October 3 1949: the lights
flickered, the crowd gasped, and Marlowe vanished somewhere between third and home.
No trade, no lawsuit, no body—just a hole in the box score big enough to bury a legend.
Halcyon City’s rumor mill insists that hole sits behind
