Following Up With Ed Hartig
Cubs historian Ed Hartig was kind enough to follow up on several queries:
I have Several Pictures of my grandfather and a bunch
of his semipro buddies from Spartanburg in the early
1920s. My grandfather was smart enough to write their
names on the pictures. I was wondering how to find out
if any of them went pro. I also have a picture of my
grandfather with an unidentified Cub player or coach
who I would like to identify. I think it was taken on
the same day of Cardwells no hitter in 1960 because I
have a score card from that game...If I could only get
a beer for $.35 at wrigley now!!!! Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks

MY ANSWER -
If Chuck can provide the names from the back of the
photo, I'll be glad to look the players up.
Identifying the player in the 1960 will be a little
tougher as I assume the WGN TV blog doesn’t accept
photos.
