Sports Autographs
Click on
one of the links below to go to the appropriate page. I am in the process of
adding new autographs to each of these pages plus moving the autographs on this
page to it's appropriate page. When all are moved to the proper page, this page
will be reserved for special items.
Astronauts

Miscellaneous

This page features sports
autographs. To visit any of the other special interest pages, please click on
the appropriate blue link above.
A number of the
vintage autographs in this area came from two old autograph books I acquired in the
early 1960's and from a collection of many insignificant personal letters and
documents an uncle of mine collected. Unfortunately my uncle clipped all of the
signatures from the letters and documents. As I understand, sometime during WWII
in Atlanta, Georgia, my uncle bought a collection of 5 bound volumes of Civil
War era Harper's Weekly and several boxes of miscellaneous material. The
collection of personal letters were in that miscellaneous material.
If the item is
pictured on a descriptive album page, that item comes in a heavy poly holder
punched to fit a standard 3-ring binder. The ones with a brief description at
the bottom are 8.5" x 5.5" (like Pete Dawkins in Sports) and the ones that have
lengthy descriptions (like Mario Andretti in Sports) are 8.5" x 11." If the
autographed item is too large for the album page, it will be included in the
poly holder. On ones that are affixed to the album page, they can be easily
removed without damage.
Shipping and
Insurance on any of these items is $6.00 per order domestic and $12.50 per order
foreign.

Felix "Doc" Blanchard is best known as "Mr. Inside" of the West Point
football team during the final years of WWII.
After completing his
freshman season at
the
University of North Carolina
in 1942, Blanchard enlisted in the
United States Army,
took basic training in
Miami, and was
assigned to an
Army Air Force ground
school in
Clovis, New Mexico.
He received an appointment to the United States
Military Academy on July 2, 1944. During his three years at
West Point his team
under coach
Earl "Red" Blaik
compiled an undefeated 27-0-1 record.
Blaik once explained what made Blanchard unique:
- "Imagine a big
bruising fullback who runs one hundred yards in ten seconds flat, who
kicks off into the end zone, who punts fifty yards, who can also sweep the
flank as well as rip the middle, who catches laterals or forward passes
with sure-fingered skill, and who makes his own interference. That's Mr.
Blanchard."
An all-around athlete, Blanchard served as the
placekicker and
punter in addition to
his primary roles as an
offensive fullback
and a
linebacker on
defense. In the first capacity, he teamed with fellow Heisman winner
Glenn Davis
(Mr. Outside) to form one of the most lethal
rushing combinations
in
football history,
scoring 38
touchdowns and
earning the nickname "Mr. Inside."
He got the nickname "Doc"
because his father was a physician who was also an outstanding football
player for Tulane and Wake Forest Universities.
I worked with Doc when he was an
assistant coach at West Point and I was a football manager.
