Love reading old newspapers.

I was reading through some newspapers this morning from the early 1900's and realized how much I love jumping into that time. I thought I would share a couple pics.

Good stuff. I read old newspapers online all the time, love the old baseball lingo when singles were called bingles and pitchers were hurlers and twirlers

Hey Jon,

I also like to collect clippings from old newspapers. I also enjoy reading the stories, but sometimes you get a bonus. These clippings from a Cincinnati paper from the 30's included cut out pictures of the famous stars of the day. Next to each picture was a tab for kids to write the name of the player, his team and his position. In effect, free baseball cards for the kids during very tough economic times.

Here are a few clippings that I put in top loaders. I sometimes think about the kid who originally cut them out and wrote the player information on the back. Its something I would have done when I was a kid

Best regards,

Joe

Love that stuff! Thanks for sharing, I love reading old box scores online, but rarely do I come across old print anymore.

Hi,

Historic newspapers have been my passion for years! I lean more toward papers previous to 1900, historic(but mostly non sports related).

Here is a great one that has baseball news in in from 1881, but highlighted with the death of Billy The Kid.
