One of a kind George Sisler postcard!!!!
Picked this up on ebay tonight and I'll eat my hat if that's not George Sisler far right with his hat off. Looked at numerous photos online and looks like a perfect match. You guys agree? Also wondering if any of you know who the other fellow is or the story of how this photo came to be, doesn't look like a professional stadium to me. Thanks!

I thought it was Sisler when I first saw the auction, and have little doubt upon further review. Looks like he's helping the other team depicted kick off a new season (stadium?) by raising the flag in the Spring. Maybe the area team from Spring training? Doesn't seem to match his alma mater's unis, at least from when he played there.

This postcard was delivered today so here are some better scans. No doubt that's George Sisler raising the flag. What a find!
