Default September Pickups

Beautful Pickups guys, I especially love the decal bat and Naps pennant. I have picked up a bunch of stuff lately but haven't photographed any of it yet. But one I thing I did pickup and scan is this small baseball broadside for a baseball game played in Michigan. I believe it is for either a town team or high school team game, but the interesting part for me is the sort of "undercard" of the game between the South Side Independents and Colored Giants. I believe this could be a sort of barntsorming game. I know an african american team called the Texas Colored Giants toured all over the country and Canada during the early 1930s. I know that July 25 was a Sunday in 1909, 1920, and 1937, so I am not sure what exact year this broadside dates too. I hope to narrow this one down with some further research.


The slight rippling in the photo is from a plastic sleeve that holds the broadside.
