Acquired an autographed card for my Field Of Dreams Whiskey collection. Bottle 8418 acknowledges the MLB debut of 110 players. Monte Irvin is one of those players.

New addition to the Field of Dreams Whiskey collection

Found this bottle last week and had the liquor store hold it for me. I stopped by yesterday to pick it up and found out that a patron drove through the front of the liquor store. They couldn’t find the bottle and I feared it was destroyed by the accident. Several minutes later the bottle was located.

8418 - 110 players debuted on January 1, 1938.

One of those players is Monte Irvin.

1907 LAJ Team photo of the Steubenville Stubs that I picked up on eBay. Picture includes Irish McIlveen (2024 Player Series #2,849), Charlie Roy, and Rube Dessau. This is from a 1908 Nap Lajoie Baseball Publication.

Had to go this route to pay homage because there aren’t any cards for Mr. McIlveen.
