Dan, They're called Omaho's

Must've been some steady hands to color the old BW photos.

Close Steve...they were the Omahogs!

That Royal Gorge postcards has always been one of my favorites...has anyone ever taken the time to identify the players on that card?

Thanks Joe,

Did you pick up your Pirates PC at the Reading show last year? I think I remember seein it there on a Friday night (but couldn't pull the trigger) and when I came back on Sat. it was gone. I've always liked that PC and yours is one of the nicest I have seen.

Nice AL Pub. PC Rhett (and Mike amd Jeff)! Is yours trimmed on top? Do you know if all the ad front / schedule back variations came from the same source? This is the 3rd I've recently seen and all three look like they are trimmed on top.

LOve the PIttsburgh landscape post card. WHo is the guy on the far right, almost cut off. Appears to be a black guy, obviously not a player but his name appears to be below. Is there any record of who this guy was and what his job might have been??

Marty, it's probably Ed LaForce who was a trainer for the Pirates.

That's Lefty O'Doul in the foreground.

Dan, if they'd publicized the hookers and booze instead they'd have gotten a lot more tourists into Omaha.

Postcards don't have to include ball players to be cool (though it helps):

King Edward and Queen Mary, and Prince Albert and Princess Mary -- all in the front row -- were among 18,000 who saw Navy beat Army 2-1 at a 7/4/18 baseball game in London. The war's end was still 11 months away.

Here comes the Judge at DL (not sure yet about location) and on "The Isle With a Smile" with William Wrigley, Jr.:

The ultimate Cincinnati Reds fan. He hand't missed an opening game since 1893.

Not mind-blowing, but still pretty cool. Alta Weiss was a pitcher that played semi-pro for a short while. Here she is with a barnstorming team - she was the pitcher and routinely pitched against the guys. Unsurprisingly, she was more of a pitcher than a thrower happy.gif

This is from 1908, and the reverse is neat because it advertises one of the games that year. Note the female in back row center - her sister maybe? - but obviously some kind of chaperone.

I'm not sure how this was used - clearly the back printing makes it unusable as a postcard. The back looks printed, not stamped, so I'm not sure why they would have used a post card as stock.

Someday I'm going to write the definitive history of women in baseball at the turn of the century. Sounds like a nice travel-researchy way to spend retirement, doesn't it?
