I just obtained this 1929 Sacramento Senators (PCL) 14 x 14 broadside schedule, with the team pictured. Some of the more notable players are Dolph Camilli, Meryl Hoag, and minor league legend Tony Freitas. There are others who played a bit in MLB or had long PCL careers. There is also a Bucky Harris, but it is not that Bucky Harris. Many of the players will be familiar to Zeenut collectors.

I thought it was interesting that the team was playing home games in both Sacramento and Stockton (a historically significant California League town). Guess they were doing all they could in the middle of the Depression to earn $$.

Marc, I believe the Great Depression began at the end of the Summer of 1929.

So true. They were just getting ready.

I do love broadsides and have always had a hard time finding anything Giants. This one comes from a fellow collector who received it damaged, but had it repaired and matted (and wrapped in plastic at the moment). Given what it looks like damaged, I'm glad to have it in it's current condition. Still need to put a frame around it.

Tim
those are beauties. How long is the Simmons bat? It looks like a nice one.
