American Ed Morris as a member of the Marianao team.
Morris was an unproven commodity as a Big League pitcher at the time, but would go on to win 19 games for the 1928 Boston Red Sox,- 1925

I just love the old inks and paper -- the glossy modern stuff seems hollow somehow. And the winter leagues have their own special history.
I had the good fortune to visit Cuba a couple of years ago. Even there, these old cards and photos are getting scarce. There was a big open-air market in one of Havana's main squares, for books and other collectibles. Unfortunately, a lot of the items remain exposed to the elements, especially the bright sun.
It's a marvelous collection, Jackie -- glad you can share this sight.

1949-Toleteros, Negro Leaguer Bill Powell. This was just after Powell's best season in the Negro Leagues.
In 1948 he led the Birmingham Black Barons to the Negro American League pennant, pitching two game in the World Series. Earlier in the year he started and won the All-Star game (East-West game) pitching 3 shutout innings.
