Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>Well, I just lost $1,700 worth of Ebay auctions this week,...going for what would be my largest additions, but came up short (again). So to fight the looming depression of my repturn to deep "armpitdom", I scanned something to share for those of you who might enjoy a very well done piece of photo investigation and story telling. <br /><br />Full credit, and I hope I am not stepping on toes by sharing:<br />From "Wisconsin Magazine of History" Spring 2005, a publication of the Wisconsin Historical Society. Article by Neal Pease, pgs 30-39. I scanned in the whole article, unfortunately pasting it in here backwards, so start at the bottom! <br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/Wisconsin11.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/Wisconsin10.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/Wisconsin9.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/Wisconsin8.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/Wisconsin7.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/Wisconsin6.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/Wisconsin5.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/Wisconsin4.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/Wisconsin3.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/Wisconsin2.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/smallcapdaddy/Wisconsin1.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>JeffD27177</b><p>It's great that the Wisconsin Historical Society doesn't forget about baseball when it looks back on our history.<br /><br />Just thought I would add a heads up that they will be running an exhibit this summer at their Madison museum honoring the 50th anniversary of the WS champion Braves and 25th anniversary of the AL champion Brewers.<br /><br />From their website (<a href="http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/museum/exhibits.asp" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/museum/exhibits.asp</a>):<br /><br />World Series Wisconsin<br />July 17 – December 2, 2007<br /><br />This exhibition marks the 50th anniversary of the Milwaukee Braves' World Series victory and the 25th anniversary of the Milwaukee Brewers' American League pennant. Included are dozens of authentic, game-used objects — jerseys, jackets, caps, helmets, bats, balls, gloves, spikes, and more — many of them from the peak seasons of 1957 and 1982, and many actually worn and used by such baseball greats as Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, Red Schoendienst, and Warren Spahn of the Braves, and Rollie Fingers, Paul Molitor, and Robin Yount of the Brewers. Original artifacts from Milwaukee County Stadium, fan souvenirs, historical photographs, and original radio broadcast clips and television footage also help bring the excitement of these victory seasons to life.<br /><br /><br />Should be a neat exhibit.<br /><br />---Jeff
