I've shown this before, but I love it, so I'll show it again.
In 1909 the University of Wisconsin sent their baseball team to Japan to play against Keio, Waseda, and other University teams. (There was no pro ball in Japan at the time.) Postcards were made to commemorate the occasion. This particular card shows the beginning of the first game of the tour. What's special about it is that it was mailed by Charles "Peck" Nash, who pitched most of the tour for Wisconsin. He's asking one of his friends back home to take notes in class for him, because they're not going to get back from Japan until after the semester starts.
