Sally Ride’s personal documents from 9 June 1983 detail her preparation for the historic STS-7 mission aboard Space Shuttle Challenger—her first spaceflight and the flight that made her the first American woman in space. The eight pages include pre-launch schedules, flight crew ground rules, and her Individual Pilot Flight Record. Notably, her schedule begins three days before launch and includes a dinner at the “Beach House,” a tradition for astronauts. A handwritten note on her flight record commemorates a milestone: “Congratulations Sally – another first for you – first MS [Mission Specialist] of your group to pass the 1K mark.”

Long before his Hall of Fame legacy was cut short, Christy Mathewson faced a far greater danger than any batter: chemical warfare training in World War I.

This pair of original typed schedules—directly from Mathewson’s personal collection and certified by Hunt Auctions, records the exact U.S. Army gas instruction he endured. The first, “Schedule of Gas Course for 28th Division,” outlines two days of drills: respirator exercises, gas chamber sessions, and German shell identification. The second, “Twentieth Course A.E.F. Gas Defense School, November 4–9, 1918,” provides an hour-by-hour plan for a week of chemical warfare defense.

Historical records confirm Mathewson received his gas mask certification on November 3, 1918, just one day before this course began. That timing, paired with multiple published accounts, strongly suggests these very trainings were where he was exposed to poison gas. The damage to his lungs would linger, leading to tuberculosis and his death in 1925.

A haunting piece of history, these schedules don’t just document military training, they may pinpoint the exact moment baseball’s “Christian Gentleman” met the fate that ended his career and, ultimately, his life.

This rare 1916 original Type 1 photograph captures Fred Mitchell in a seldom-seen Chicago Cubs uniform during the early days of his managerial career. A deadball era standout, Mitchell would go on to lead the Cubs to the 1918 World Series. This newly discovered image is a true gem for collectors of early 20th-century baseball history.
