cypress4289 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 This serves as advance notice to all HAIFers of a pending mid-August release event for "Houston Baseball: 1888-1931" by Randy Foltin. This epic 4x5 foot black and gold poster displays over 30 of the rarest images from a century ago that trace the origins of baseball in Houston. The images are encased within a magnificent graphic construct that reflects the spirit of the times with iconic and authentic baseball symbols.Among the images included are two stunning panoramic views of the first baseball stadiums/parks in Houston's history. One, East End Park, will make its' first viable public appearance that captures a 1926 game with a capacity crowd. East End Park is where the black teams in Houston played baseball.The other panoramic image is a photographic reconstruction of West End Park, which will bring the grand 'ol lady back to life to be seen for the first time in 100 years. Houston's original downtown ballpark, Antioch Baptist Church was just beyond the reach of the left-centerfield fence. West End Park served as home to the Houston Buffs from ca. 1905-1927, and hosted the UT/A&M football series from 1909-1912.Other entities that will be represented include Houston Heights HS, Camp Logan teams, Houston HS, Rice University and many others.The largest portion of the profits from sales of the limited-edition poster will benefit Buddy Lamothe, the San Jacinto JC baseball player who was recently paralyzed.Specifics will be made available as to the event no later than the first week of August. All are welcome to attend. there is no pretense of extending the invitation with an expectation of poster purchase. Just come out and enjoy this incredible piece that gives to Houston its' baseball origins for the first time ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
