Boston Garter Mathewson Captures a Brutal Assault

[Jobu]

I was just flipping through the REA preview when I saw this:

Has anyone else ever noticed the brutal assault happening just outside the window?

I saw that the first time I saw this card. I think it is hilarious how nonchalant Matty is, like he is thinking "Just another day of baseball."

[kmac32]

Think the card was actually made at a TRUMP rally. Trying to make America Great again with America's past time

A different era for sure. I think a guy getting hit in the head with a bat during practice would be a pretty big deal today. Maybe even a lifetime ban for the player. At least a season or two.

Looks like someone threw a ball at his nuts then the other dude blasted him Tommy Boy style straight across the face.

Haha, yep, I noticed this in the past and chuckled a bit when seeing the REA preview. Like edjs said, much of the humor lies in the fact that Matty is just sitting there oblivious to the assault taking place behind him.

Too funny Bryan!! I've looked at that card several times and never noticed it!

[1952boyntoncollector]

the guy just pitched to him and the batter isnt swinging at the pitcher but its a funny optical illusion

[JoeKerr]

That is pretty funny.

Along a somewhat similar vein, I always wondered just what Mr. Abstein was up to in his T201 shot. Bracing for a comebacker to the midsection? Or just REALLY enjoying the baseball game......

It's all fun and games until someone gets a subdural hematoma.

.........as are some of your posts. I agree with the majority that these cards (including others posted in this thread) were created by someone with a sense of humor.

Of course interpretation is the privilege of the beholder, but fact and opinion often differ.

I believe he is just adjusting his cup on the mound just like modern players do.

But didn't someone say "perception is reality?" and if opinion and perception are similar then is opinion really reality?
