I'm sick of all this damn money talk; let's have a virtual card show

In 1909 the University of Wisconsin sent their baseball team to Japan to play against Keio, Waseda, and other University teams. (There was no pro ball in Japan at the time.) Postcards were made to commemorate the occasion. This particular card shows the beginning of the first game of the tour. What's special about it is that it was mailed by Charles "Peck" Nash, who pitched most of the tour for Wisconsin. He's asking one of his friends back home to take notes in class for him, because they're not going to get back from Japan until after the semester starts.

Thank you for sharing! As a Badger alum this one hits close to home

On Wisconsin! (even though they don't have a baseball team any longer)

The "problem" with this thread is that you only get one a day and sometimes other people's posts prompt several different cards you want to share. However, since Plow Boy is outnumbering Plow's Candy two-to-one, I thought I would even things out today and save the other cards for another day.

He was part of Boston's "million dollar outfield" and was so admired for his defense playing in front of the Green Monster, that the incline leading up to the wall in left field became known as "Duffy's Cliff". But here he is shown playing for the Washington Senators. He got 114 plate appearances for Washington in 1921.
