Default Baseball Post Card Question & Show 'Em Thread

I picked up this postcard recently for a whopping $10. I"m not a post card aficionado, but to me this postcard was way way way too cool to past-up. First of all, it instantly reminded me of one of my favorite photos of my dad, which features him as a "20-year old" at an office party (from 1939) with black Cubans and white Cubans arms locked around each other and big smiles on their faces. Secondly, and please excuse my ignorance, but how many PC exist from the 19th or early 20th century (I'm sure there are a few) which publicize a baseball team with an African American in the picture. If you have one, lets see 'em (pretty please!).

By the way, the seller mentioned this card was probably from 1910 and perhaps is/was of a team from the Olivia, MN area...................since it came from a collection that featured other items from that area.

Lovely Day...
