I've shown it before, but here's a postcard mailed from Japan. In 1909 the University of Wisconsin sent its baseball team over to play a bunch of Japanese college teams. (Pro ball wouldn't start there for another 25 years.) The team sent two pitchers on the tour. One got injured in the second game, so Charles "Peck" Nash pitched all the rest of their games. Peck mailed this card back to a friend in Madison during the tour.
