Default What is the Baseball Monument described on Turf Cigarette card of Sisler?
As seen below, the 1925 British Turf Cigarette card featuring on front (in theory) George Sisler, as is stated on the back, has always been an interesting foreign card. Even more interesting and curious is the '$100,000 Base Ball Monument in Washington' (I assume DC) that is described on the back.

Does anyone have any information on this? Was it ever built? I couldn't find out anything with a quick check on the internet.

Brian (but not Brian's card)
