Heading out to pick up another similar one in a moment (green and yellow).

Can we get a picture of you, wearing it?

Perhaps. It was just a tad small when I tried it on, but it seems to want to be a touch bigger, so hopefully it will dry to fit.

I would look like a dork, but it would just be a different style of dork.

Picked up the enclosed EBAY items this week. Always on the lookout for pieces that bring to mind baseball history. Really liked these pictures because they combined 2 of my favorite collecting areas, Babe and St Mary`s school and the Black Sox. Pictures show the St M`s band performing, the Sox/Yanks changing out at innings end and the 3 men attending the game. As described, Babe took his boys band on the last road trip of 1920 and these pics were snapped in Chicago. Can`t really tell but that could easily be Joe Jackson and the other famed Black Sox trotting on the field for one of their last games ever. Judge Landis ended their paying days within a week in Sept of 1920. As a bonus, the seller also included 5 additional snap shots of FLA minor league players in the Dodger system.

I got really lucky yesterday and picked up this 1915 Chicago Whales team composite print from a local antiques dealer. The frame has been replaced and it has some pin holes in the corners, a few small tears at the edges, and a couple light stains. I haven't been able to find another one so far in my research.
