Hello folks,
I found this postcard years ago in the grandfathers closet. Seriously!! You all seem to know the origins of all things baseball, I have never been able to find anything on this one, any chance of some help here?

Semi-Pro playoff game between the Cleveland White Autos vs a team from Johnstown PA I believe. This wasn't even the final game of the season. Those Cleveland fans loved their home team.

..."Those Cleveland fans loved their home team"

Still do! In my humble opinion, THE nation's most passionate (sports) fans.

Aaron - I think we're the most passionate football fans, but I'll let someone else wear the crown in baseball/basketball.

Aaron - I don't think true passion is measured when a team is winning - I think it is measured when a team is losing.
