Back Up; You've Batted Twice More than a century ago in the election of 1912, for example, the competing political platforms were bitterly divided under the leadership of three individuals: Woodrow Wilson (a Democrat), Teddy Roosevelt (a "Progressive" Republican), and incumbent William Howard Taft (a "Conservative" Republican). All three had or would serve as U. S. President. As the baseball-themed cartoon postcard (above right) illustrates, the umpire (Uncle Sam) warns batter Roosevelt to line up behind batter Taft. The caption "Back Up; You've Batted Twice" was a reference to the fact that Roosevelt had already served more than two terms as President before Taft's then-current first term in office. Soak Him, Ted! Every Time You Hit Him I Get a Vote. In the second cartoon postcard (at left; also following a baseball theme), Democrat Wilson encourages Roosevelt to continue throwing baseballs at the G.O.P. elephant mascot. The caption "Soak Him, Ted! Every Time You Hit Him I Get a Vote" is a reference to a rift in the Republican party between Roosevelt and Taft that would benefit Wilson, who ultimately won the election. The black and white postcards are each signed by "Allan" in the lower right corner. Each measures the standard postcard size (3-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches) and features a typical "divided back" format. The pair recently sold in a Heritage Auctions event for $400, including buyer's premium. The cards have considerable appeal for collectors of both political and baseball postcards and ephemera. The postcard captioned "Back Up; You've Batted Twice" is pictured on the back cover of "Baseball Comic Postcards," a booklet distributed by collector Frank Keetz in 1983.
