Here we have Harry Thobe the bricklayer circa 1928. Harry was the Reds biggest rooter from the early 1900's until his death in 1950.

Not sure why my scan mucked up the bottom of the image. RPPC, outside Cleveland's League Park, circa 1915.

Fast forward about 12 years...

Chicks (grannies) dig the long ball!
Chris, Rob and Leon,
Thanks for posting your fan postcards. I've been collecting for more than half a century and have never seen such fascinating images. They are priceless!

Great stuff guys!
To further expand the topic, here's a fan / rooter whistle from the 1929 opener in Cincinnati.
Sort of on topic here is a Wagner day pin pre-production piece...It is approx. 1.75 inches by 1.75 inches.
