Thats crazy. I live near Weiser and visit there often. I would not have imagined anything like this existed still in the town, but that is a fantastic discovery!

They have not one, but TWO uniforms he supposedly wore while playing there. Also a bat and a glove, if memory serves me correctly. They keep them in the bank vault!

Hey Hank,

At the museum in Coffeyville,Kansas they have this uniform and hat. Do you know anything about it?

First I've seen it. I did a book signing at that museum 20 years ago, I don't think they had it then. They had the loving cup, the original photo of his house in Humboldt, those are the things I remember.

Yes, they told me everything had been donated by the family. There was no literature explaining he significance of the jersey and hat. I took these pictures a little over two years ago. Here is a couple more, one being the house you referred to.

It is amazing how many great Walter Johnson postcards have been discovered with Weiser addresses or postmarks.

Kevin,

Since most Rose PC's carry Philadelphia area or east coast postmarks, and this one carries a St. Louis, MO postmark(where the Senators played the St. Louis Brown's on the day of the postmark(sept 23, 1908). Do you think Walter got the pc in St. Louis, or more likely might the Rose Co. have provided him with some?
