Herriman Saturday: March 30 1910
March 30 1910 -- Herriman continues to herald the new baseball season, this time supplying sketches of deliriously happy fans to go along with team captain photos. They are Pop Dillon of the Angels and Wallace Hogan of the Vernon Tigers (here referred to as the Chiefs and the Villagers, presumably nicknames).
Since Herriman will be moving to New York long before the conclusion of the 1910 season, I'll just come out and tell you that neither team will comport itself particularly well. Team batting averages were severely anemic, keeping relatively decent pitching from putting big numbers in the win columns. Vernon will at least be able to boast a barely winning season, while the Angels will post a season they'll gladly forget, beating only the pathetic Sacramento Seals to stay out of the basement.
