Marking a Milestone

100 Subscribers and a Repost of the Origins of the Museum

A warm thank you to all who have subscribed to this Substack. Chances are, if you live in the northern part of the country, you could use it.

One hundred subscribers in the grand scheme of Substack probably seems like a small amount. But not to me. I appreciate that you’ve all stuck with me for however long — or short — a period it’s been since you initially subscribed. More than that, your involvement keeps my motivation high to research baseball history and illustrate my impressions with the photos that accompanied the events.

As I’m sure you’ve noticed I exclusively employ wire photos — those disseminated by news services over a system of electronics and received by special machines. This is no accident. It is, in fact, the principle behind the entire endeavor.

I laid this all out very early in the life of this Substack. At the time I might have had three subscribers — if I include myself. Now that we’re up to a hundred, I think it prudent that I get everyone up to speed on the origins of my wire photo fascination, or, more accurately, mania.

And so, a repost. Or can I finesse it by calling it a restack, even though I’m sending out my own article a second time? As the kids say, whatever . . .

Hope you’ve enjoyed viewing these treasures nearly as much as I have selecting them for you.
