1911/12 Chicago White Sox ID

The photo RUKen posted is actually my postcard that I had posted in another thread. Glad to know there are at least two copies and they are both so close to home!

Love these old postcard(s)! If you've ever read G.H. Fleming's "The Unforgettable Season" you can kind of get a feel for playing Spring Training baseball in Texas during this era ... albeit from the standpoint of the New York Giants in 1908. But still ... kind of makes our pre-war cards come alive :-) Love the bike in the foreground. Looks like it would crumble into pieces if any kid tried to sit on it :-) Thanks for sharing!

Love them too. The bike is a tricycle which is sort of neat.. Here is another postcard of the White Sox in the same year, at an Exhibition game...with a nice inscription on it, cancelled

That was probably my source. I forgot to add "I don't own this"; 'sorry about that.
