A VIEW OF PORTLAND IN 1949
BIBLE SIGNED BY PIRATES FOUND!
(Fox News) – A California book repairer reportedly knew something was unusual
when she opened up an old Bible found last week amid thousands of materials
donated to the Friends of the Sacramento Public Library.
The Bible was signed by 30 players and manager Fred Haney from the 1953
Pittsburgh Pirates and was given to general manager Rickey, who was best
known for breaking Major League Baseball’s color barrier by signing Jackie
Robinson six years earlier when he ran the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The restored Bible could fetch as much as $800 according to collectors of
baseball memorabilia.
