Man's Best Friend... Dog!!!
 

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>All, <br />In my continuing quest for the next diversion, I now pen my next entry in the rarely-advertised, yet hotly-contested, Most Irreverent Post Competition. A recent/concurrent thread asking for posts of our favorite cards contained a comment that got me thinking (Thanks Keith)...so here's my question/request:<br /><br />What other vintage cards contain depictions or pictures of dogs?<br /><br /><br /><br />Here's my entry, which dovetails nicely with the other Fave thread, as this one also happens to be my current favorite card! Ah the Symmetry...the Symbiosis! <br /><br />For those who don't know (and I had to do some homework to find out), the dog pictured front and center is sitting in front of his owner, Jack Graney. From what I have read, Jack was a good friend of Shoeless Joe, and had some notable distinctions, such as: he was the first major league hitter to face Babe Ruth as a pitcher, he was the first one to think up the idea of having a team use numbered uniforms (it was scrapped quickly, and then caught on for good with the Yanks), and he was the first ex-major leaguer to become a broadcaster (so we have him to thank for Tim McCarver).<br />The dog was a popular mascot for the team, and apparently developed into a fan favorite for the tricks he would perform before games both at home and on the road. The dog's name was Larry, and he passed away on July 25, 1917.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />[IMG]<img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/T200ClevelandPSA2.jpg">[/IMG]<br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Joe, I would return it -- but the seller lives in some place called Staten Island -- and I took a vow never to visit the place!
