It was neat looking through the old sports pages and seeing photos that I remember as a kid. I used to read and re-read the sports pages and analyze the box scores & standings like crazy.
Kind of neat seeing old ads and graphics as well.
If your local library has microfilm of the Post Dispatch, find some dates of prominent Blues moments you want to read about and go look at them. Don't forget to request the date of the day after the Blues game...not the date of the game. :grin:
You can save them as .tif files or .pdf's on a jump drive, then convert them to .jpg (highest quality) feel free to upload them to box or imgur or wherever and share them here.
Scan them at 600dpi (or 300dpi if you are short on space) and maybe tweak the contrast and brightness...I had to do that to get rid of a lot of black noise on a few of the older issues.
It would be nice to build a good size depository of old newspapers.

Other games I am going to do are "Here comes Cheveldae", Hull's 500th goal, the Wednesday Night Wonder, & the President's Trophy game.

This may warrant a new sticky thread, or link from the homepage so it doesn't get lost in an old thread.
When I get around to finishing the rest of the site, I'll link them up in the menu somewhere.

Great clippings Curt!

People don't realize how amazing scoring 86 was. So amazing that chances are it will NEVER happen again! These days just getting 50 is hard!

I'm shocked the Monday Night Miracle win wasn't on the front page of the Post!
