FYI, Bryan Snyder was the pass agent for the railroad in St. Louis (Frisco Railway) that was responsible for transporting many of the ML teams.

Here is my pass from 1901 St. Louis Cardinals that was also issued to Bryan Snyder. In 1901, HOF Christy Mathewson pitched his 1st of two career no-hitters as a 22 year old pitcher in St. Louis...

That is cool Scott.....and 1901 is considered his first image in uniform, in some kind of ad....which is the M128. I thought the 1903 one was especially cool as it is the first year of the world series, so it would have been for admission there too. (I assume). It also kind of fits in with the one valuable piece I kept from my collection, the 1903 Horner AL Composite ..

Got knocked out of the laced-front uni on eBay, but picked up this nice 1905 Spalding uni, thanks to Mark S.

Sweet! Nice one, Dave.

Scott,

Thanks. When I started rebuilding my Reds collection, I told myself I was only going to acquire Crosley Field Era items. The last game at Crosley Field was 24 June 1970 and the 1970 All Star Game in Cincinnati was held on 14 July 1970, so this is just a wee bit outside of that. 1970 was the first year I really followed baseball, and having grown up in Cincinnati during this epic season, I just could not pass up the chance.

I only wish I still had this tee-shirt that I had my school picture taken in that year. My mom was horrified when they sent these home as I neglected to tell her when pictures where taken.
