Postcards sent by Dots Miller to a relative during stops from the 1911 season. He apparently sent a lot of postcards during his career and the family has more in an album, but these I got from an auction.

The one I really like is the top one from Chattanooga. The Pirates worked their way up to Cincinnati for Opening Day on April 12th. One of the stops for an exhibition game was April 7th in Chattanooga, and Dots was able to get a postcard out in the mail before that game.
