ChadThat really is a beautiful card. I really can't believe anyone associated with the Oaks thought for a minute Claxton was "Indian" and not "Negro" as they defined the terms at the time. It's just another reminder to me how baseball is a microcosm for our big, messy history, and that these little pieces of cardboard are important. Fun too! Thanks again for sharing.

And by the way, why do the freaking Yankees have to win everytime I go to a game?
