September pickups

[bbpostcards]

The first is a 1908-09 Rose Co. postcard of Eddie Grant with rare overprinted advertising on the reverse. Eddie was a Harvard graduate, major league baseball player, lawyer, Army enlistee to fight in World War I, and a war hero killed in action. Look him up.

The second is not baseball, of course, but since I was posting the Grant I thought I'd include it since it's an interesting one. It's postmarked 1909.

The last few are mystery photos of African American baseball coming from a photo album of 1930's+ era Atlanta material. Anyone recognize uniforms or place?
