Happy Thanksgiving everyone. A little mental trivia to help off-set the turkey dinner coma. Given that Anson is featured in the middle, I'm assume that the surrounding images are also c1890 baseball players. Can anyone help to identify who they are and what this was originally cut-down from?
Regards,
Jeff

Bottom right is Spalding, upper right corner is Abraham Gilbert Mills, fourth president of the National League, and upper left is Nicholas Ephraim Young, the fifth NL president.

After comparing the cutouts, to the original print, I believe the image under Suzie Q, is Dan Brouthers. It seems to be the only one where the ear and hair match.
