Paul, are you sure the Mississippi Bar wasn’t a group of attorneys?

It would be a wrinkle if Mead was captured by a bunch of people in business attire with Southern accents, in a tavern that was located on a sandbar.

Get Ebbets Field Flannels on the Represa All Stars cap STAT!

My efforts to find a good image of the uniform the Represa players wore has been a disappointment thus far, though I'm probably not totally done. I did find a cap saying, "My Son Is the Inmate of the Month at Folsom State Prison," but I'm not sure it's authentic.

Paul, I enjoyed this immensely on many levels. I loved the idea of MLB players going into Folsom to play ball, Bill Ryan as one of the good guys in the prison system, the idea that a prisoner would have access to enough socks to knot together a rope, and, as usual, your entertaining footnotes, today notably “celery en branche!”
