John Albert Hartman (1892-1983) played college baseball at WSC from 1913-1916, earning the nickname Babe. After schooling, he played professional baseball on the west coast for six teams in the Coast, Northwest, and Western leagues. In the 1930s he settled in Dinuba, CA, as a draftsman, and spent most of his life there, continuing to play baseball until the age of 52.
Joseph Anthony McIntosh (1951-) grew up in Billings, MT, and played college baseball at WSU, graduating in 1973 with a BS with distinction in Zoology. He was drafted by the San Diego Padres, and played for them in the major leagues in 1974 and 1975. After his baseball career, he received a Law Masters from New York University.
A single letter, with envelope, from Al Hartman to Joe McIntosh, dated 1973 March 2, congratulating the latter on breaking the former’s 56 year old record for most wins by a Washington State University pitcher, and talking about Hartman’s life as a baseball player.
