I was happy to pick up this 1889 Boston Beaneaters cabinet photo in REA last week. I love the photo, but also would love a bit of help in figuring out who's who in the pic.

I'm able to ID Ol' Hoss and King Kelly, but the mustaches all become a big blue to me after that. Any assistance with this would be most appreciated!

Love that Cabinet Scott!!! One of my fantasy team names is The Beaneaters. Here is a link to view the team. I'm sure other can identify each player's face in your Cabinet.

I don want to hijack to your thread, but I'll post a couple Beaneater stuff later when I have a chance.

Congratulations Scott, that's an awesome photo.

Sorry I can't help you identify who's who. The post caught my eye because I have a scored program to an 1888 game between the Beaneaters and the NY Giants.

The 1888 & 1889 rosters are almost the same, so it's cool for me to see the these guys!

Sorry for the poor scans. Had to enlarge from a larger group picture I had. Live anything Beaneaters!

Thanks Steve, I just group things and take a large picture. Too lazy to scan images now that I don't use my Zmotive gallery, and I have my IPhone. Lol.
