Clever response, @Jayzelady, thank you!  I was going to note that despite the fact that Mayda had a rather harsh looking face, she still had her finer points, but decorum wouldn't allow me to post it.

This is an interesting set of old timers.  Most of these players played from the late 1930s and 1940s (Bobby Doerr), or 1940s and 1950s (Dom DiMaggio, Spec Shea, Johnny Pesky), and were considered stars but not top elite players. 

Except Rogers Hornsby.  The Raja is considered one of the greatest players of all time, but the years he played were 1915-1937 (although as a player-manager he appeared in few games after 1931).

These guys probably got about $50-100 each to endorse the game, if that, with Hornsby getting a bit more.


Who the heck is Dan Parker?

I hadn't thought to look up that Casey on The Mound game, but there was an auction a couple years back.  The seller wanted a minimum bid of $200.00 but nobody bid on it.  I guess you stick a hand in there with a bat and try to hit a ball thrown by an opponents hand at the opposite side of the field.  I honestly can't see the fun of the game but, simpler tastes back then, I guess.

Dan Parker was probably the sportswriter who worked mainly for the New York Daily Mirror.  He was a crusader against corruption in sports, particularly in boxing, so I suppose his name added legitimacy to the game.
Merry Christmas

Ok, makes sense.  Like having a well known sportswriter, sportscaster endorse something now
