These guys might as well have been representing Cooperstown; half of the 1911 AL "All-Star" team would end up in the #HOF. This early example of an All-Star game was held to commemorate the passing of Addie Joss. #SaturdaySwag

This was my great-grandfather’s work, at E 66th & Lex. The shadow you see across the top of the buildings was the 1B side of @Indians old home, @LeagueParkCle. Oddly enough, my other gt gpts lived right where Prog. Field is today
