The Deadball Era Committee of SABR is selling t-shirts with Federal League logos as a fundraiser for the committee. Here is all the pertinent info:

Dear Deadballers,
With the funds in the Deadball Era Committee's treasury now depleted, I am excited to announce our new fundraiser: Federal League t-shirts! Be the first on your block to own a t-shirt of the Baltimore Terrapins (black), Brooklyn Tip Tops (gray), Buffalo Buffeds (blue), or Chicago Whales (white). The shirts were designed by graphic artist extraordinnaire Glenn LeDoux, who also designed last year's DEC t-shirts and this year's Deadball Stars of the National League. You can see what they look like at Paul Wendt's DEC website:



The shirts are $15 apiece, plus $5 postage on orders of 1-3 shirts, or go for the "Jim Gilmore Special" -- a set of all four for $60 and we'll throw in the postage for free. And remember that all profits from the sale of these shirts go towards the DEC's good works: last time those works included plaques for the Ritter Award winners, software for The Inside Game editor Charles Crawley, covering Eddie Frierson's travel expenses to Hot Springs to perform "Matty" at Boiling Out II, etc.

Please make checks payable to Tom Simon and send them to me at 118 Spruce St., Burlington, VT 05401. Be sure to make clear what size(s) and team(s) you want, and allow several weeks for delivery, as we won't be printing the t-shirts until we have a pretty good idea of numbers.

Thank you for supporting the DEC, and special thanks to SABR members Glenn LeDoux for designing the shirts, Paul Wendt for posting the designs on his website, and Wayne Turiansky for giving us a great deal on the t-shirts.

I'm getting the Terrapins shirt myself.
