was the W-card that pictured the two Meusel brothers...my grandfather was friends with Irish and Bob Meusel for many years after he met them at Hollywood Park Race track (where my grandfather worked and I think one of the brothers did in the off season or after his career). It is a great card picturing the brothers. Both came to rather tragic ends according to my grandfather as they were both alcoholics and nearly penniless when they died.

I would post a scan of this card but I buried it with my grandfather last June. Sort of a reverse "my grandfather gave me this old card."

My love of baseball came from both my grandfathers (both gone) and my father (still playing fast pitch baseball in a 30 and over league at 62 years of age).
