"any connection between jimmie foxx and walton, ny?"

Brian,
That's so great! Good detective work. So what's the back story on this card? How did you find it and where? Here are a few Jimmie Foxx cards to go with the postcard.

Rare in general; even more so when front-signed.

Jimmie Foxx's mother was from Maryland...born there, died there. This is wishful thinking. There is nothing that ties Jimmie Foxx to an athletic club in Walton, New York.

Trusting AI is a dangerous habit to fall into. It's just combing ALL of the information out there and providing an overview. It doesn't question whether the information is valid or not, it's more about how often does it come across the information.

An app on my phone was giving me trouble yesterday. AI said the best thing to do was uninstall then reinstall. It turns out the latest version of the app is no longer compatible with my phone, so I either have to forego using the app or buy a new phone.

My own stupidity for trusting AI. Never again. A lesson learned.

I'm just going to assume you are trolling the same way you did with your "Waner" postcard and move along.

I'm sorry, how does his mom being from Walton prove that is Jimmie Foxx? Like you said, he grew up in Sudlersville?


Edit: I see others have already looked into and disproven this.

Raised partly there according to who? All you are citing is AI which is not a trusted source what so ever.

Wide waist belts were popular during Jimmy Foxx's youth. Players in the postcard are wearing wide waist belts. Therefore the player seen seated at the far right is wearing Jimmy Foxx's belt.


Brian (I have to admit, the face of that seated player is what I would imagine Jimmy's face would look like when younger)

The belt clinched it!

FYI, I don't trust Foxx or the guy sitting next to him. Joe Jackson looks legit.

I have determined that this is a photo of Santa Claus. He wears a Santa hat, like Santa, and he has lots of whiskers, like Santa, and he's eating something, and Santa eats things too, so it has to be him. The ears are a little difficult to make out, but someone who never met Santa has assured me they are a match.

I was able to get Yahoo, a prestigious leader in the AI space, to eventually agree with what I wanted to say so, confirming this is indeed Santa Claus!

Well, if Yahoo says he is Santa Claus, who are we to dispute it? Case closed!
