Bailey's no-hitter started me thinking that we might have a thread here for exhibits related to important moments in Reds history: collections of images, maybe digital newspaper files, whatever's available. I'm not sure how it would work: there could be a thread for suggestions of exhibits and another for posting them? In any case, I wouldn't mind working on it, and others might be interested too...

It's a conventional approach, but I thought it might be interesting to start with the 1919 Series and work through the championships...

I guess I'll start doing this and see if anyone tries to stop me. It looks like an "exhibit" could take the form of a thread, with one post. Stuff can then be added over time by the op (so don't reply to posts that are marked as exhibits). Contributions to exhibits created by other members could be posted in this thread, as well as suggestions for exhibits (if there's interest in discussion). It seemed worthwhile to start with the 1919 World Series and its aftermath. There are lots of possibilities for other types of exhibits...

Sources for 1919 World Series
General: Chicago Tribune, Democratic Banner, New York Sun (I was the one mistaken about the umpires in Game Four, so score one for the Sun), New York Times, and New York Tribune digital archives, 1919-1920; statistics and game reports: Baseball Reference; game photos: Shoeless Joe Jackson's Virtual Hall of Fame, New York Daily News, among others.
All sources used without permission but not without respect. Many newspapers of the time are available at the Library of Congress site in the Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers collection. Local papers often didn't print box scores; generally the larger urban papers contain better evidence. Game Two photograph is from New York Daily News as reproduced in John Rosenburg, Baseball (1968), the original apparently unavailable in digital form...

I haven't been able to find any pictures of civic celebration in Cincinnati after the 1919 Series win. If anyone knows of anything, please post the link or the image itself, and I'll add it...
Is it possible that the influenza pandemic influenced civic decisions about these types of gatherings? This wouldn't preclude crowds assembling for the games, but perhaps the city decided against any planned public gatherings on that scale...

The SABR convention in Philly later this month includes a session on the 1919 Series to honor the 50th anniversary of Asinof's book. The entire panel is devoted to the trial of the Black Sox and its aftermath, including one of Buck Weaver's surviving descendants. This despite the fact that there's no new evidence on the judicial side of the scandal. It remains the case that there's very little interest in the 1919 Reds...
