Leon, That postcard is one of a series of 16 issued by Columbus that year. I have a copy, but not quite like yours. Only 2 have baseball themes. The other shows the stadium.

Edit to add. I've never seen one with the yellow color. All the others I've seen are in black and white.
Edit to add. They also went on to win the championship again the next year to make them 3 time champions. And yes, all the information you have is correct. All the other games on opening day were rained out so Pickering was credited with the first American league AB.

In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.
