Did you see the scoreboard explode?

I don’t remember that happening if it did. Not sure that was a thing back then. The only real reason I remember the home run was because my father had some kind of bet going on who would hit the first home run of the season.
Are we having fun yet?

I like this card, I wish I had more sports postcards in that collection I found.

Can you tell if it's a photo, or a drawing?  If it's a photo, I wonder who the players are.  Can you tell what team they are playing?

On the top left corner it says #281.  I wonder what the other postcards in the set are.

I get the impression that it was originally a real black and white photo that was 'colorized' through a litho (adding color through dots) process.  I couldn't pull any info on the card, just a few other cards like it.  I tried to locate a possible b/w photo that the postcard was based on but I couldn't locate one.

Dear Aunt Eleanor - Jim
& I may go here to the
Easter Sun rise Services.  It
is not far from where Jim
lives.  He is away this
week in Houston Texas on a
museum program.  The Los Angeles
Museum sent him, expenses paid.
I am with Olga until next Tuesday.
Will be back with Jim awhile then.
                         With love, Marguerite

November 1, 1925.  Aunt Susie Fickes.  (I'm assuming Aunt Susie is the older lady to the right.)

I am almost certain his cheek is red from a recent slapping.

She's not that kind of girl, but he looks surprised. I don't like it.
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

I have a hard time seeing red but now that you mention it, I think you are spot on, Annie.  That has to be the reason for the surprised look that Dot mentioned.
