Happy Felton hosted the pre-game TV show called the Knot Hole Gang prior to each Brooklyn Dodger home game. Included here is: 1) Letter from Felton to Walter O’Malley, owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He writes about Campy being in a chair and having physical limitations. He taped an interview and says Roy was cheered up by being able to hold a piece of paper in his hand. He also writes "Don't let those Californians get you down." He must have been out of a job and not too "happy" himself. 2) 3x5" card signed by Happy Felton. 3) 1950s Brooklyn Dodgers photo with Roy Campanella Type I with stamp of photographer Edward Ozern. All rate EX or better.
