For baseball fans in a time of seriously diluted baseball: two mementos of a classic era (lots 201 and 202). The 1910s decade was a golden age of baseball: Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, Tris Speaker, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson-names that are still familiar to baseball fans were among the players who dominated this decade. 1913 and 1915 were happy baseball years. (It all came crashing down in the 1919 World Series. We are not the first to experience a loss of innocence about the game.)
