NOTES:
 
    Major 1st Events In a Century Of Baseball portrayed by a series of commemorative poster stamps booklet, was issued by Forest Park Baseball Museum Inc. Organized in 1934 by Emery Parichy in Forest Park, Illinois, it was the first museum of baseball to be established anywhere. A non-profit organization dedicated to the permanent preservation of baseball records, pictures, autographed baseballs, uniforms, souvenirs, to perpetuate and develop interest in baseball and further the development and promotion of sportsmanship among the youth.

 In 1939 the museum published a set of stamps created by Al Demaree, a former pitcher for the Chicago Cubs and professional cartoonist. The 1839-1939 "Centenial Of Baseball" numbered stamps were issued in panes of 25. (Centennial is misspelled on the stamp) The "Poster" stamps were produced, with each stamp to be affixed to pages in the booklet. A box reserved for the stamp also features a short career biography for the "Immortals of the century of our national game whose bronze plaques adorn baseball's Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. 1839 1939"

 The book also features a "Baseball Quiz" with the Answers scattered on different pages throughout the book. Page 14 pictures businessman Emery A Parichy, President of the Forrest Park Baseball Museum, and together with page 15 describes how in 1934 he started the baseball museum which predated the Hall of Fame and opened to the public in 1935. The museum was described as having many priceless relics, such as bats, gloves, caps, and uniforms, many of them autographed, which were actually used by the famous players. Page 15 features “an interior view of the Forest Park Baseball Museum, 755 South Harlem Ave., Forest Park, Illinois.”

 Emery Parichy's concept of a baseball museum led to the creation of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Most of the Forrest Park Museum collection, which he owned went to Cooperstown. Emery Parichy also formed The National Girls Baseball League, 1944-1954, a year after the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). It was formed as a result of scouts for the Chicago–based All–American Girls Professional Baseball League scouting and recruiting talent from the Chicago softball Metropolitan League, run by Parichy.
