Let's see some postcards

[seattlerainiers]

Here's a group of postcards of PCL Hall of Fame catcher James "Truck" Hannah, spanning most of his illustrious career as a player and manager:

1911 Butte Miners (Union Association)
1912-13 Chattanooga Lookouts (Southern Association)
1918-1920 NY Yankees, Cyanotype (AL)
1930s LA Angels (PCL)

Also, his 1910 release from the Western Canada League Calgary Bronchos, written on the back of a Dugdale's Billiard Parlor slip, and signed by Calgary skipper Bill Carney. Carney's major league career consisted of two games with the 1904 Chicago Cubs.

Nice detail on little known player. Cool set of PC's on one player, Hannah.

Here are a few RPPCs of hard-luck pitcher Jack "Crab" Warhop, at the beginning of his professional career with the 1906-1907 Wisconsin State League Freeport Pretzels.

Warhop went 82-20 in three minor league seasons from 1906-1908, leading to his 8 year career with the NY Highlanders/Yankees,1908-1915.

18 year professional baseball career notwithstanding, Warhop is most remembered for giving up Babe Ruth's first two major league home runs.

Warhop also played for the Nebraska Indians...I have yet to locate him in one of my images though.

Great postcards everyone, this thread has turned into something truly great!

Here's my latest addition, a 1943 RPPC of Joe DiMaggio. Thanks Greenmonster!
