^^^^ Crazy cool uniform. I’m guessing Air Force probably won? Did #62 enter the game? The uniform looks pristine.

He did not play in the game and I agree that it’s a cool uniform. Airforce beat Navy 17-6 in the game

Here is an interesting ticket that I think our Pittsburgh residents would appreciate. The Pittsburgh Athletic Association (PAA) was an important and influential social club and athletic club that opened in 1908. They were an iconic fixture of Oakland, two blocks from Forbes Field. They fielded many accomplished teams in track, hockey and basketball.

This ticket was for their first outdoor track meet at Forbes Field, in October 1909 - just three months after Forbes Field opened.

As a side note, the Earl Christy girls or Gibson Girls are pretty neat too.

Added another one to the scoreboard collection.

That awesome. I’ve been looking for one myself and know that they don’t come around very often.

Thank you. I don't know what Freud would say about my fascination with scoreboards. There is another version (below) of the scoreboard, which I do not own. The Duquesne football scoreboards are pretty slick as well, but I don't collect football.

Very pleased to win this from REA. This is Thomas Richard Sanders, pitcher in 1899 and 1900, coached both years by Hughie Jennings. I’ve been looking for this cabinet photo for many years, after first seeing a copy a long time ago. What makes this very special is that I have T.R. Sanders’ Cornell baseball cap. The cap has been a highlight of my collection for a long time. Glad to now have this cabinet, which is a great complement to the cap.
