Christmas card from a supportive fan addressed to Tris Speaker concerning a Sept. 25, 1919 game fixing scandal. This accusation was made against him (and Ty Cobb) by major league pitcher Dutch Leonard in 1926.

I've been watching this 1909 KEIO postcard for a while - finally pulled the trigger.

And below KEIO's rival, Waseda, from their 1911 U.S. tour.

Carlton, you'll be able to find more about both teams, "soon", on the research page of my web-site. I've been very frustrated with how slow it takes to get articles published, and will be creating a venue for other baseball historians to web-publish their articles. It will be professional, etc., and I already have 4-5 articles ready to go up.

I'll start a thread when it's ready to accommodate articles by you all.

I'll be bookmarking that site. LOVE IT

Thanks Scott. The three featured 1911 teams were the subject of an article I wrote back about that time, and the stats you see were gathered to support the article. I'll probably expand it to include a few more Chicago and Kansas City teams, and begin working backward toward 1900.

Here's a link to a thread about a Vintage Keio pennant I found. Long gone but thought you may be interested Scott.
