Description
With hand-drawn Mercury symbol
Mercury Seven Astronauts: Signatures of Alan Shepard, Gus
Grissom, Wally Schirra, and Scott Carpenter on a Rare Vintage Sheet
of Houston Colt .45s Baseball Club Stationery. One page, 8.5" x
11", bearing the ink (various) signatures of the four above as well
as the Mercury "symbol" drawn by either Schirra or Grissom. The
Colt 45s entered the National League in 1962 as an expansion team
along with the Mets. Three years later they were re-named the
Astros because of Houston being the host to the Johnson Space
Center. This was obtained by Gene Elston who was the radio and
television announcer for the team. We can envision that these
astronauts were in the office or broadcast booth one day and Elston
just grabbed what was at hand to get signed. A very cool display
piece for either the Space or Sports collector. Tape stains at
corners would mat out, light wear, about fine.
