What’s Rob Reading?

Johnny Gould

“The Gould Collection: What Johnny Left Behind”
By Ralph Carhart, SABR Baseball Cards Blog

“Among the things [Johnny Gould] left behind in his collection were an interest letter from the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the business cards of John Whalen and Walter Youse, scouts for the Indians and Orioles, respectively. He signed with the Indians, as a pitcher, and was in their minor league system when an arm injury derailed his fledgling career. After his dreams of major league glory were dashed, he continued to channel his love of the game into collecting. It was an intense romance that resulted in a collection that has brought me to pen this little missive.”
