Just waking up.....my Grandson and I were at your "favorite" ballpark
in the Bronx last nite. I don't think I'll do this again anytime too soon.
Between the cold wind, occasional "beer showers", and the obnoxious
fans, it's not the event I used to enjoy (perhaps, I am getting too old).

The "pale" looking Dunlap is a true color printing error. The background
is Yellow, which is always one of the initial ink applications in the multi-
color printing process. The final ink color, cyan (blue) was not applied on
this card which would have created the Blue and Green coloring seen in the
background on the normal card of Dunlap. Color printing in the 19th Century,
and essentially is the same today, is a 4 - color (black, yellow, magenta, cyan)
inking process.
