This postcard captures a beautiful image of HOFer Edd Roush, the best deadball centerfielder this side of Tris Speaker…

“Sure, the 1919 White Sox were good. But the 1919 Cincinnati Reds were better. We had Heinie Groh, Jake Daubert, Greasy Neale, Rube Bressler, Larry Kopf, myself, and the best pitching staff in both leagues. We were a very underrated ball club.

I’ve read where as far as the Cincinnati fans are concerned I’m the most popular player ever wore a Reds’ uniform. I don’t know about that. It’s not for me to say. But - assuming it’s true - I’ll tell you one thing: the feeling is mutual.” - Edd Roush, ‘The Glory Of Their Times’

This beautiful postcard depicts a man from another time…

“I had a spur which most baseball players do not have. The shadow of the coal mines was on me. I experienced all there was to experience and I never want to see a mine again.” - HOFer and native of NE PA, Ed Walsh, in 1913. His brother died in the mine where he worked. Walsh pitched more innings in a season (464) than anyone since 1893, and he still holds the all-time lowest career ERA (1.82).
