Mr. Wagner wishes to say hello. He asks that you take a gander at his popeye like arms and reconsider your position.

Lol.

I look at those photos and think how much my high school baseball coach would have yelled if I choked that high on a bat at the plate. Times sure do change.

If I put up stats like Wagner I guess I might have got a pass.

Will most likely never afford the "Chicago on shirt - Hands on Knees" Tinker - but one with the faded "Chicago" will do (usually found on Sweet Cap. 150's from what I've seen.)

There's no such thing as a "Chicago on shirt- Hands on Knees" Tinker variation...I think you're thinking of the Mordecai Brown version.

I believe there is a variation with "Chicago" erased, and some of "Chicago" is visible.

Sorry for the confusion, Nast Nati. I meant the printing error/freak that has both "Cubs" and the partial "Chicago" on his shirt:

I'd love to see that Wagner image in Kreindler color!

Can I ask what the first name is at the top of the photo? Is it KASEL or KADEL or something else? I only ask as my last name is KASEL, so it would be cool to know that maybe some relative at some point in history had a hand in it.

Thanks!
