**Help Requested** September 8th, 1930 Old Timers Game in Boston
I've done a little reseach to learn more about this game. It seems to have served two purposes; first a collection of players who had a history with the city of Boston and second, perhaps more importantly, as a tribute or fund raiser for Lou Criger (Cy Young's personal catcher and member of the 1903 World Champion Red Sox) who couldn't participate due to his living in Arizona and bout with tuberculosis. Does anyone know any thing else about this game??? There is a really cool panoramic of the players there that day that apparently is worth a few bucks...see below for one that previously sold at auction. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
