Al Schacht: Clown Prince of Baseball photo postcard
 

vintage photo postcard showing Al Schacht wearing sign announcing his scheduled appearance at a doubleheader ("TWO BALL GAMES ALL FOR THE PRICE OF ONE") July 17 (no year on sign) at Western League Park, Des Moines Iowa.

wonder if any of these signs are still around ???

Hi-
I have definitely seen signs promoting Al very similar to the one in your picture. I am not sure if I have seen that exact one. Although I do not know of any for sale right now, a little bit of digging might uncover one as there are usually several for sale each year.
Good Luck!

thanks Alan for the heads-up on their occasional availability - perhaps I'll be able to run across one at some point as it would make a great companion piece with the postcard.
