"What the He!!'s the Use?" - Whit Freeman

[Leon]

Another little niche that can be collected is baseball announcers. This gentleman, Whit Freeman, has on his business card several different occupations. One of them was for being a licensed announcer for base ball. His quip on the back of his card is rather humorous. It is circa 1945.... best (I hope his grandson doesn't contact me )regards

A friend of mine lives a few houses down from that address.

To add a little trivia: the gentleman is wearing a hat which reads "Pt Loma Ferry." There's a high school in that town, called Pt. Loma High School, and among its graduates are Don Larsen and David Wells...each of whom threw a perfect game for the New York Yankees.

Thanks Leon. I've already forwarded the image to seven states.

Mr. Freeman understands cussedness and certainly his voice continues to be heard.
