Default 1936 World Wide Gum Minor Leaguers
Posted By: Bill Todd

Andy,

I just received a Cliff Bolton (#133) in the mail. (Thanks, Kevin!) The back says that he's with the Washington Senators, not Albany. There's no logo on his uni or hat, but he caught 86 games for Washington in 1936, and 110 the year before, so it's not likely that he was down on the farm in '36.

I love that Bolton "attributes "much of his success to the fatherly counsel of Daniel Boone."

And to answer Jodi's question, it's "World Wide Gum Co. Ltd. Granby, Que."--about 50 miles east of Montreal.

Bill
