Today we look back to 1919 at Chicago's Comiskey Park to bring White Sox 3rd Baseman Buck Weaver to life in color. Over his right shoulder is HOF'er 2nd Baseman Eddie Collins, and over his left is Right Fielder Shano Collins. Known for his defense, Weaver also had a solid year at the plate hitting .296 for the AL Champions and only striking out 21 times in 622 plate appearances. @SouthSideSox @GoodGuysTB @FCIty24604 @CoolOldSports @baseballhofshop #whitesoxhistory

Today we take a look back to 1919 and the outfielders for the AL Champion Chicago White Sox brought to life in color. Happy Felsch (2nd from L) and Shoeless Joe Jackson (far R) would later get caught up in the throwing of the 1919 World Series and then were banned from MLB at the tail end of the 1920 season. @NorthStar717 @baseballhofshop @GoodGuysTB @Chicago_History @SouthSideSox #whitesox

As we start the Final Round of the @TheMasters Tournament today at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, GA, we look back to March 22, 1934 and the 1st Masters. Then known as the Augusta National Invitation Tournament, here we brought Bobby Jones, Jr., (left), Paul Runyan, and their caddies to life in color. Jones & Runyan were paired in the opening round play and are seen here crossing the original bridge over Rae's Creek on to the Par 3 #3. The following year the front and back nines were reversed. This is now the 12th hole, named "Golden Bell" on "Amen Corner". @drbob4th @BobbyJonesLinks @CloverWhiskey1 @SHistorians #themasters

Today we are dipping into our Military Gallery once again to share a famously posed image of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Cold Harbor near Mechanicsville, Virginia in 1864. Not a battle General Grant would like us to remember, but this image has endured. @CivilWarTimes @CivilWarHistory @USGrantNPS #historyuncovered

Today we take a look back to 1917 and Chicago White Sox legendary Leftfielder Shoeless Joe Jackson. The former Philadelphia Athletic and Cleveland Naps/Indians star was traded to the White Sox midway through 1915 and in 1916 he led the team to a 2nd place AL finish with a .341 BA and led the Majors with 21 triples and 293 Total Bases. In 1917 he hit "only" .301 but led the team (with Happy Felsch's .308) to 100 wins, the AL Pennant, and a 4-games-to-2 whipping of the New York Giants in the World Series. @whitesox @SoxOn35th @shoelessmuseum @FCIty24604 @TomsOldDays1 #whitesox

Today we are dipping into our Military Gallery to share an 1865 portrait of the Hero of Gettysburg and MoH recipient Brevet Major General Joshua Chamberlain brought to life to remember "They Served in Color". His Medal of Honor Citation is only one sentence, but....

"Daring heroism and great tenacity in holding his position on the Little Round Top against repeated assaults and carrying the advance position on the Great Round Top."

The details between the lines of the short citation are well documented by the history of that 3-Day battle. His Medal of Honor especially represents his selfless and decisive leadership in command, but also the bravery he AND his men of the 20th Maine demonstrated throughout that day on Little Round Top. He wore it for all of them. @MedalofHonorCFL @MohMuseum @GettysburgNMP @CivilWarTimes @CivilWarHistory
