Description
1901 P & W Railway Pittsburgh Baseball Club Menu NM/MT. The offered item is an interesting and rare piece of Pittsburgh Pirates memorabilia. The menu dates to the Spring of 1901 and was given to the Pirates players on the train from Pittsburgh to Hot Springs, Arkansas (where many Major League clubs held Spring Training) at the beginning of the 1901 season. The back of the menu features a complete player roster including Hall of Famers Rube Waddell, Honus Wagner, and Fred Clarke among others. The Pirates did go on to win the NL pennant that season and 1901 was a historic year in baseball as it saw the birth of the American League. Included inside is the following dandy poem:
"Ye baseball men that go abroad, acknowledge, if you please,
That traveling is a picnic when you go on lines like these:
The trusty P.& W., --the Wabash superfine, --
The good old Iron Mountain and the Hot Springs line."
