A day off with Sam Crawford and Small town baseball in Nebraska

Nice post. I grew up close to Ceresco on an acreage along Hwy 77 just South of Davey. The last time I was in Wahoo they had relocated Hwy 77 and the original welcome sign with Sam Crawford's name on it was no longer there. I always thought Wahoo could have done more to celebrate their hall of famer like St Paul does with Grover Alexander.

And not many know this but they also had another fine baseball player come out of Wahoo...Doc Steen who many here at Net54 know was a pioneer in baseball autograph collecting.

Here is a website all about the good doctor.

Here's some tough Crawfords:







And Crawford is included in this 1914 Vatican postcard -- he's third row from the bottom, fourth in from the right, with a black hat on.
