Hey everyone,

I have an old photo(?) of the 1911 Topeka Santa Fe Railroad baseball team.

The arrow points to my great-great grandfather.

Anybody recognise anyone from the photo, any future major league players? I'd be interested to know any info anybody knows.

Thanks,

~Owen

Great pic. I'm from Topeka, and my family dating back to the 1800's worked for Santa Fe in Topeka. Thanks for sharing.

Owen I'll see if I can get you in contact with someone that knows about those teams. I know they had multiple teams for the same year depending on how good they were. They had teams through the 20's and probably into the 30's. I think the one I have is from a 1920's team and I've seen some from around the 1909 time frame.
