Yankee 1961 Baseball Team Autographs S. Cain web page

In 1961 "Nicky" (James Nixon Cain), age 10, attended a private dinner meeting with the Yankees Baseball Team in Ft. Lauderdale Florida at the Governors Club hotel directly across from the Ft. Lauderdale News on Las Olas blvd. Nicky's father, (James) Millard Cain, was vice president of the Ft. Lauderdale news. Millard got the entire Yankees baseball team to sign his son's autograph book. Two of Nicky's 10 year old friends also signed the autograph book. Signatures were scanned by Steve Cain (a distant relative) and arranged in this album in 2010.
