ironman

The title shoud read Iron man Joe McGinnity Hall of fame pitcher.

Joseph Jerome McGinnity (March 20, 1871 - November 14, 1929), nicknamed Iron Man, was an American right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball at the turn of the 20th century. Born in Cornwall Township, Henry County, Illinois, he reached the majors in 1899. After a 10 year major league career he continued to pitch in the minor leagues, eventually bowing out of baseball for good at the age of 54, having amassed nearly 500 wins as a professional ballplayer. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1946. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_McGinnity

I wouldn't think he'd be able to go very fast with those ears catching so much wind...

When his head was down, they would slice through the air.

I love those phones.

At the trivial level, the negative number etched here is 2680-2. You will notice that Alben Barkley is sitting at the same desk upon which sits the same telephone as that used by Miss Genevieve Clark, adjacent in this photostream, and which also has the consecutive negative number 2680-3: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3295498512/

He coined "veep" as a nickname for "vice president."

the reversed writing upper left says Cong Barkley so this would be pre-senate
