This sale will feature the contents of the Historic McGreevy’s Sports bar from Boston, MA. Back in the early 1900’s this was known as one of the first collections of baseball history better than any museum of it’s time. After prohibition, McGreevy donated most of the contents to the Boston Library. The bar was reopened in 2008 and the Boston Library gave permission to reprint most of the décor to bring the bar back to its original state. Covid-19 shut down the bar for good. We are horned to sell the contents of this historic bar and give an historic look at baseball over the years. Some items in the sale are original baseball items from the turn of the century with one of the highlights being an original portrait of Michael “Nuf Ced” McGreevy.

 

 

Nuf Said will be replaced with Sold when the contents of McGreevy's Bar from Boston cross the auction block on January 26, 2022!

McGreevy's Bar, originally opened in 1894 as the Third Base Saloon as was known as Boston’s first sports bar. It housed one of the most extensive collections of baseball history of its time with photos, clipping and other baseball memorabilia.  Michael T. McGreevy’s nickname Nuf Said was given to him because that was what he usually shouted to end barroom disputes, usually about the Boston Americans and the Boston Braves. The saloon soon became the hip place to be with many celebrities, ball players and politicians always being seen at the establishment. He named it the Third Base saloon because like third base, it was the last stop before home! After Prohibition the bar was closed and most of the contents was donated to the Boston Public Library. In 2008 the bar was re-opened and replicated to what it looked like in the early 20th century with getting permission from the Boston library to photocopy many items that were in the archives. Covid 19 shut down the bar for good and now the hanging History of Boston Baseball must find new homes! On January 26, 2022 Nuf Said will be replaced with Sold as Bodnar’s Auction will be offing the contents of the bar in an Online Only Auction.
