My world tour: Australia baseball post cards

Any idea who any of these wags might be? The first card's uniforms looks a little like a White Sox variation while the second card's uniforms are Melbourne, and seem to be somewhat earlier. Both are divided back post cards with Australian printing information, but no other details. The first has an entertwined "SA" it seems, and despite my being lost for days on the roads of Sydney, nothing comes to mind as to what this club was. |

Serioualy, those are crickett-like scores...but that's a baseball bat-like baseball bat front and center on the first card. |

The stuff about one innings, 156 runs, bowling, test, etc is all cricket terminology. However, the bats in the first picture are not from a cricket team, so I would guess that it is baseball on just the picture alone. Cricket bats are flat, not round, like the ones in the picture. Maybe the second photo is cricket, especially since they are wearing white. Sorry I'm not more help, just idle observations from watching cricket over here in England... |

I lived in Australia as a kid (Could post a picture of me as a 7 year old holding a Koala Bear). All the houses where I lived were one stilts because of the snakes. They played a lot of cricket, don't remember any baseball. |

Cricketers look subtantially different than baseball players. The ball is different, the bats are different, no gloves, casual white uniforms with long pants (no American knickers). They dress like Fred Astaire at the poolside. |

P.s., tell a British cricket fan that own a CDV of the 1869 Cincinnai Redstockings in knickers, and you'll get a laugh (In Britain, knickers means underwear). |

Just a few days ago a college student from Melbourne emailed me. She's doing her Ph.d. thesis on Chinese in Austrailia. She had a CDV with advertising on back (for a tea house), and wasn't sure what to call it. She heard it might be a 'trade card' but wasn't sure what is the the definition of a trade card. She found me (probably via google) because I had a picture of the 1868 Peck & Snider White Sox with advertising on the back, and figured I might know. At the end of our email conversation, she asked me what one of those Peck & Snyder trade cards would cost. I laughed to myself, because I knew she'd think American baseball collectors are nuts if I told her. |

the juxtaposition of the photos and the score reports was supposed to be a JOKE...o well. |

In what surely must be a VBC record number of postings on cricket and baseball that doesn't involve Harry Wright and CDV's, I have received further information on one of these photos. |

Would it be possible for me to say that those Boston Garters are the coolest cards without people inferring some sort of homoerotic implication? That's right, I'm talkin to you, the-illini...you had my feelings hurt last time, when you accused me of fancying Nap Rucker in his knickers |

All I know is when someone says "knickers," my mind automatically turns to Kate Moss (a Brit), while everyone else on the board thinks of the 1869 Cincinnati Reds baseball team. I'll let you draw your own conclusions. |

Actually, Ben, the Boston Garters are universally liked by people who see them, even if they don't collect cards or like sports. It would peculiar to not like the set. |

But what exactly does the term PAD refer to? Oh wait - it must be the garter, not the knickers. |
