Incidentally, besides the #423 you have, Rhubarb was in issues #466 and #563 as well (minus the baseball theme, so strictly for fans of affluent felines). http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...Series/466.jpghttp://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...Series/563.jpg |
Thanks for the info all
|
Plan to do some research on this day in Cleveland.

Any chance the fat kid is "Fatty Joe Cobb" of the early Little Rascals? It would fit the time frame and the Los Angeles location of the photo too I think. It looks a LOT like him but just a guess. Rhys |
Man, how could you not love the Babe. He always put the kids first. Wish he didn't have to go through what he did as a child in an orphanage, but seems like it had a hugely positive impact on his life.

I don't think it is him as it is not mentioned in the slug or any other place this image is online I think it is just another chubby feller. But I am no ear, nose and ect specialist so I could be wrong. |

Couple of nice ol' pics:
1) Feb 1912 outside the left field wall of the old Huntington Ave. Grounds - Fenway would open two months later 2) 1908 Harvard basketball team - any basketball memorabilia from this era is so hard to find! |

I like this. may keep/may sell, but can't wait to get it..DODGERS.:)
|
Very cool Dodgers piece Scott -- also love the horse and buggy outside left field from the other Scott!
Greg |
I love the Horse and Buggy outside the Huntington Avenue Grounds too. Simply a wonderful image.
|
In keeping with March's pick-up theme, here is a postcard I received the other day (it's been trimmed down a little), of a 'bus' being used to transport a ball-team. Joe Wood describes such transportation in 'The Glory of Their Times'.
Also, a postcard showing buggies lined up along the 3rd-base line |
Great stuff -- apparently you have to be named Scott to add to your collection this month!

Was really happy to score this Babe Ruth composition book. Entries in the notebook are dated 1925.

I picked this up from a board member. I've been looking for prewar Columbia for some time. This one is extra special since it is Zinn Beck.
|
Congratulations John. Great pickup!

Actually got this last month, it's now a centerpiece in the collection: Early Wynn's 200th win ball, with a notated LOA. Can't believe nobody wanted this on ebay.

Christmas card from a supportive fan addressed to Tris Speaker concerning a Sept. 25, 1919 game fixing scandal. This accusation was made against him (and Ty Cobb) by major league pitcher Dutch Leonard in 1926.

I've been watching this 1909 KEIO postcard for a while - finally pulled the trigger.
And below KEIO's rival, Waseda, from their 1911 U.S. tour. |
interesting
Quote:
Pretty nice...wouldn't mind seeing some close-in shots, especially of that top one...I looked up Keio...had no idea what it was....see above it's a univeristy.."It is known as the oldest institute of higher education in Japan" |

I'll start a thread when it's ready to accommodate articles by you all. |
I'll be bookmarking that site. LOVE IT
|
Thanks Scott. The three featured 1911 teams were the subject of an article I wrote back about that time, and the stats you see were gathered to support the article. I'll probably expand it to include a few more Chicago and Kansas City teams, and begin working backward toward 1900.

Good pickup, Matty39--are there any photos of the team or individual players inside? Pictures of the Buffeds from their first year are hard to find.

Here are three more. The Marty O'Toole is a Max Stein, I believe. The New York field is pre-Yankee Stadium, but not sure what park? The other, of course is Wrigley Field.

Hilltop Park, 165th Street and Broadway, 1903-1912.
