Grazie paisan. That PC is sweet. I've never seen a ballplayer using a target instead of a catchers glove!

More terrific Gehrig items! You are now considered competition!
That's what I get for talking you into collecting photos.

You're right David. We were born too late. Also, agree with Mark, nice catch indeed!
This came in yesterday's mail. c. 1920's B.F. Keith's Theatre - BABE RUTH Himself - Advertising Handout Promoting the Bambino "HIMSELF" in his One Man Vaudeville Show.

Born and raised on a New Hampshire farm, B. F. Keith began his
show business career in the 1870s working in circuses. In 1883 he
opened a dime museum in Boston and soon began presenting live
variety acts in its 300-seat theater. With his partner Edward F.
Albee, Keith leased several regular theaters in the Northeast,
presenting low-priced, completely respectable “vaudeville” shows
that ran continuously from morning to night. In the early twentieth
century the Keith-Albee Circuit came to dominate big-time
vaudeville.
