I found a great lot of vintage newspaper pages from the early 1900's this past week..and also a great, small publisher book from 1910 entitled "Letters to a Baseball Fan to his Son"...with hand drawn and colored period baseball cartoons. 1907 LA Daily Times w/ a photo of the Santa Barbara Baseball Team"...has equipment shown as well. Same page has two pics of "Third Baseman - Mott" and "Outfielder - Bill wallace of Portland"; 1922 Los Angeles Examiner page - "Angels grab opening game of series from Indians 8-5" also has a huge pictorial featuring "Joe Bush, Million Doallr Yankee Pitcher and "His Stuff". More to follow....
