Tonopah Mollycoddlers - Nevada - Vintage Defunct Baseball Teams - Unisex Sweatshirt Size:L Hand-drawn black and white illustrationTonopah was a high desert silver mining boomtown in 1907, the kind of place where a strike could make a man rich overnight and a saloon brawl could turn deadly just as fast.
