Love this thread. Great stuff top to bottom.
I'm trying to get autographs of the starting 9. Only need Dots Miller, Bill Abstein, and Chief Wilson. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Enjoyed the article. Always nice to see something about vintage baseball in a modern newspaper. One question for the Pronunciation Police: what is the correct way to say Carnegie? Have always heard it said "CAR-na-gie", emphasis on the first syllable. A while back I watched an American Experience TV show about Andrew Carnegie and he was referred to throughout as "Car-NAY-gie", emphasis on second syllable. I also listened to a YouTube with some old-timer who claimed to have known Wagner in Car-NAY-gie. Said "Hah-nuss" as well so he passed that test. Some of you guys are local to the area. What do you call the place?
