I am skeptical of the two foot home run story. First, seems implausible, and there were no news reports of such a home run at the time. Maybe just an exaggeration? According to Wikipedia, Oyler ‘s grandson appeared on an episode of Antiques Roadshow about a year ago, claiming to have a ball from that game. Don’t know if he claimed it to be THAT ball.
And that is an awesome postcard!
