B-18 Blanket Display

[Hankphenom]

Promised to post a pic of this in another thread. Lousy photo, but you get the idea. Had no thought of this when I bought them in an auction, but when I laid them out, to my amazement the nine blankets formed a perfect diamond, with each player in his position! Had them framed with archival tape so I could put them on the wall. Incidentally, this team was significant in Washington baseball history, assembled by Clark Griffith when he arrived in 1912 and staying together as regulars for four years, 1912-15, finishing in the first division each year and second in 1912-13. Griffith fondly called them "my little ballclub." They couldn't hit, but with great defense, speed, and brains, they were right in there with the great A's and Red Sox teams of the era. Oh, and they also had Walter Johnson at the absolute peak of his powers.
