Vintage Baseball Cards
From CBS News:
••••••••••••••••••••••
Home runs were a rarity during baseball's "dead ball" era.
A combination of spongy baseballs, huge ball fields, and rules that favored the pitcher meant that players had to rely much more on strategy to win the game.
A new show (up until December 1, 2013) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York celebrates this period in American sports history.
"Legends of the Dead Ball Era (1900-1919)" showcases hundreds of vintage baseball trading cards from the museum's historical collection.

Not to brag about being a Pittsburgh Homie but,
It's nice to see people go gaga over the mere mention of
a "Wagner" card in good condition!
I once viewed one and the people around me were melting
and loosing their faculties!
