This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/5/2015
Red Jones* was an American League umpire from 1944 - 1949. This record album is a hillarious account of many of his exploits and is billed as the "funniest baseball almbum ever made". The sleeve is in excellent condition and the record is mint.
*In a 1946 game at Fenway Park, Jones was behind the plate when he received heckling from the Chicago White Sox bench. Jones was called a "meathead" and someone made "whoopee-cushion noises". Unable to pinpoint the culprits, Jones ejected fourteen from the Chicago bench. For many years, legend had it that the razzing came from a ventriloquist in the stands, but at least one player has identified Chicago coach Mule Haas as the source.
