1919 Champions

 

   In 1919 the Feicke-Desch Company produced a set of 24 postcards of the National League Champion Cincinnati Reds. The Reds went on, of course, to win the World series from the infamous "Black Sox" that year. Feicke-Desch then reprinted the same 24 cards they had already produced which said "Champions of National League" and changed the wording to World's Champions on them. Both sets are extremely rare and are almost priced out of my ability to obtain many of them.

   The real photo postcard above was obviously taken using the "Greasy" Neale card in the 1st row. It is identical except for the bottom line of text.

   On the day the 1919 Reds clinched the pennant some of the team posed, in their locker room, wearing P-Q-A Union Suits. Advertising even back then was a big part of their revenue.
