Default Rekindling the postcard thread

Thought I'd resuscitate this great thread with some RPPCs from north of the border, the 1908 and 1909 Northwestern League Vancouver Beavers. Included here are team composites, along with individual cards of Northwest/west coast legend Lou Nordyke, and soon-to-be Pittsburgh Pirate Ham Hyatt with his nine bats. Love this card!

Note that the individual RPPCs are the same images used in the team cards (Hyatt, bottom left in 1908 team card, and Nordyke 2nd from right, middle row in the 1908 card, and third from left, middle row in the 1909 team card).

The 1909 Card is also noteworthy due to the presence of Dick Brookins. Many of you know of Jimmy Claxton, perhaps not of Brookins.

Here's a post from Jay Dell-Mah's excellent site which tells his story:

Enjoy.
