In his career, he had 44 hits, 2 home runs and a .214 batting average. Martin, born on March 28, 1920 is 92 years old. He is my 51st TTM success. It took 2 and a half months for the ball to come back to me.

TTM Success - Babe Martin
I was really worried about this one. I sent to Babe Martin on January 17, 2012. Other than the two I sent to Yogi Berra, this was the second oldest TTM I had outstanding (the other being the last one I need from the living 1945 Tigers - Ed Mierkowicz).
Martin didn't disappoint. He signed my ball in blue sharpie and also sent two signed cards of his own. They both looks really nice signed in blue.
I believe that Martin is the sole surviving member of the 1944 AL Champion St. Louis Browns. I could be wrong, if I am, someone please correct me.
Martin played 1944-46 with the Browns, 1948-49 with the Red Sox and was back with the Browns for the 1953 season.

Very, very nice.
