O/T A Bit of Irony in Advertising....1957 Baseball Postcard

[Tedw9]

Wow, that is really cool! I'd be geeked to find something like that in my travels. I love offbeat things like this. My wife found an early 1900's Singer postcard from Fall River, Massachusetts and the store managers name which is on back, is Borden. Didn't realize that till we got home.

Awesome crossover piece! Thanks for sharing.

So FUN at so many levels.

Agree Right Fielder is asking guy beyond fence to throw back HR ball.

Wind blowing hard to right.

The players "seem" a tad big for Little League.

Man, those front row HP seats are pretty sweet !!!!

Finally, I have a feeling that Scrooge's Bar was one of those places, where you walked in at 18, and walked out at 80 ....................

Yes, Fun, Scott

You are right, it does say "field". Maybe they are older and playing on a little league field....

Bessemer, MI is a small town.

To get four umpires there for a little league game seems unlikely.

To have four umpires there for any game seems problematic as well.

I agree with the comment about the wind direction.

I think the winner of “The Price Is Right” contest that week was from Tennessee, but I could be wrong.

Of course. I just assumed....should give myself 41 whacks.

Fall River Mass. is the home of the famous Lizzie Borden murders.

“Lizzie Borden had an axe, gave her mother 40 whacks. When she saw what she had done, she gave her father 41.”
