Elmer Flick (HOF) - Autographed Postcard
Hall of Fame postcard autographed on the front and initialed on the back by Elmer Flick (HOF) - on the backside he proudly boasts of the batting title he won in 1905, commenting that himself and Willie Keeler were the only two players that batted over .300 that year. Flick notes his batting average at .306, however, Baseball-Reference.com lists him at .308 in 1905
Signed in 1964, the 88-year old great, talks that these were the days of the "Spitter" and "Emery" ball in the hands of great pitchers like Jack Chesbro who won 41 games (1904) and Ed Walsh who won 40 games (1908)
