Brad--Great story, and good research--I've been reading a bit too many microfilm newspaper reports myself lately. To echo Jeff, learning the historical information about the era informs my card and postcard collecting.
BTW, I grew up in St. Charles, IL home of the Kane County Cougars. Once I moved to SE Pennsylvania I fell under the spell of the Phillies, an organization for which the Cubs had prepared me well!
Cheers, Mike
