I have a few cards of which every time I look at it I think of a story that I've read. So I thought that I would share one.

On March 14, 1914 the New York Giants were playing an exhibition game against the Dallas Giants of the Texas League. They played these exhibition games every year, and New York always won. But on this day, with Christy Matthewson pitching for the New York club, Harry Storch hit an RBI triple in the first inning to give the Dallas club a lead that they would never lose. They went on to win 4-0. I bet that was a thrill for all of the Dallas players and fans.

Here is a link to the New York Times coveragehttp://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=950CE7DC163AE633A25756C1A9659C946596D 6CF

Anyway, every time I look at my Harry Storch card I think of that game.
