I have been collecting Cubs memorabilia for many decades. These have been fairly prevalent for many years. I have never believed they were from 1906. It’s much more likely they were made later to look as if they made for the 1906 WS. There are just too many available in really good shape.

Baseball's appeal isn't complicated or confusing. It's about the beauty of the game; it's about heroes and family and friends; it's about being part of something larger than yourself, about tradition---receiving it and passing it; and it's about holding on to a bit of your childhood.
