Terrific postcard depicting the flag raising ceremony at Navin Field on Opening Day in 1912. Members of the Detroit Tigers are shown prior to their new home ballpark's inaugural game as future Hall of Famer, Ty Cobb, stands third from the right. Postally used card displays a postmarked date of April 20, 1917 on reverse, with a heavy crease visible to the front surface's upper-left corner. Text at the top reads: "Detroit Baseball Team having a Flag Day at the Season's Opening, Detroit, Mich." A scarce card with tremendous eye appeal and relevance to one of the game's all-time-greats. Measures approx. 3.5" x 5.5"
