[Shoeless Moe]

Rare vintage postcard of the old Hotel Warner in Chicago. I've been watching Ebay well over 10 years and have seen 2 or 3 of these, that's it! Kind of neat little accessory to any Black Sox Collection, one I doubt any have in it.

$35.00 shipped (Paypal friends and family) afterall we are one big family here at Net54 : )

The Hotel Warner from a Google search:

"It was Gandil who spoke to the teammates he felt were the most likely to be interested in the proposition — Eddie Cicotte, Swede Risberg, Happy Felsch and Buck Weaver were among his first targets.

The group met with Sullivan and the notorious gambler Arnold Rothstein in the Warner Hotel and asked for $80,000 upfront. Rothstein, ever the low-baller, guaranteed $10,000."


"Sullivan and Evans went to Chicago, where Evans, posing as “Rachie Brown” (a small-time New York City gambler) to the players, handled much of the wagering end of the Fix. Reports on Evans/Brown’s involvement vary. Black Sox Lefty Williams testified that Sullivan and “Brown” met the players at Chicago’s Warner Hotel before the Series, to hammer out the details of the Fix."
