My eye beholds ugliness. Only a couple are less than hideous.

Ah, c'mon Rob....
That depiction of your Giants is pretty cool, looking just like a Russian Cossack. And look at that handsome profile of the Pirate!

I think the "artist" just gave up when he got around to the Yankees and Phillies.

I also have this. I believe this is the same album released on Fantasy Records. I love how they labeled it "Educational Material" to get the Media Mail rate (9.5 cents). Like none of us has ever done that.

![]() This is a photo taken June 9, 1911. I found it in a box of photos that my mother had stuffed in a closet. It apparently was part of a photo album of my grandmother's. That kid in the front with the glasses...that is my grandfather, about 13 years old. He was born in a tenement on the Lower East Side and never left Manhattan. So it is a new item for me even though we've had it in the family for 110 years. He died when I was 4 so I have few memories of him but I do recall that he used to do sleight of hand magic tricks with a lit cigar and that he took me with him once on his beat (he was in law enforcement), which was meatpacking district. I recall getting a hot dog fresh off the line at one of them. He was a fantastic grandfather. I wish I'd gotten to spend more years with him. So this photo was quite the find for me.
