The “E” and “T” were most noticeable. I’m not sure what year this picture is from.

The Swing of the Quad Cities has re-named their team to the Quad Cities River Bandits, which was the team’s name 4 years ago.

I can’t believe they wouldn’t want their namesake to be a musical prodigy who drank himself to death at age 28 on Prohibition-era swill.
