Stumbled across this while looking for something else. I didn't know teams put ads in the paper looking for players, kinda funny. Be fun these days to see that in a newspaper, "honey I'm going to head over to Wrigley today and tryout for the Cubs"

I know the Cincinnati Reds held open tryouts and took out ads in newspapers as late as the late 1970s.

The Twins have been having these sorts of amateur tryouts for decades. To date they've signed 3 players from them: Charlie Walters, Jerry Terrell, and Gary Serum.
