View Full Version : Zach Taylor So. League postcard

I picked up the Zach Taylor postcard at this year's National. I think it pictures Taylor in a 1919 Charlotte Hornets uniform since he played with them before joining Brooklyn in 1920. However, the minor league registry at Baseball-Reference indicates that he also played for Chattanooga in 1918, even though there are no stats for him that year.

Does anyone know if he's wearing a Charlotte or Chattanooga uniform? The stampbox indicates that the postcard was produced in 1918 or after, so it could be dated either 1918 or 1919.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike

He's wearing a 1919 Charlotte uniform. Here's the 1919 Charlotte team with Taylor.

Don-

Many thanks. I don't have a copy of either the 1920 Spalding or Sporting News guides so I couldn't look up the Charlotte team.

Cheers,
Mike
