Default 1869 Harper's Weekly

I discovered this "oldie-but-goodie" in a quaint Antique shop in the New Jersey Pine Barrens about 12 years ago. This Harper's Weekly original
print is almost 150 years old and is in fantastic condition.

As most of you know, the Cincinnati Red Stockings were the first Major League team. In 1869 they were undefeated in all 21 games. To honor
their home team, the Cincinnati Lumber Company crafted a 27-ft long bat with the inscriptions of the "First Nine" players.
