View Full Version : RPPC of a Player from the Frankfort Statesmen? Anyone Have Bill Cramer Photos?
Given the similarities to the uniform of the Frankfort Statesmen, featured in the T210 set, I am wondering if this guy might have been on the Frankfort team. The postcard stamp box dates this to 1904-1918, so it is in the right window:

Does anyone recognize him?
Thanks!

Checked the pitching staff for 1909-1913 and came up with a potential hit. Had a cup of coffee in the bigs too! Uniforms match.

His stats are below. Looks like the search for photos of these teams begins.

Your welcome that was fun. Figured he was a pitcher by the pose. Looks pretty young and the rest of the pitching staff were older players. Picture is hazy but looks good to me! Let me know if you ever confirm it to be him.

That's the link. I'm not certain about the pic comparison. I think I have a 1910 Spalding Guide. The Guides usually was better about having team photos back in the day than the Spalding Record books were. I'll dig around for that guide...
If that's him he was in one major league game for the Reds in 1912.

Yep...…….looks like Bill Cramer alright.
Bump to see if anyone has a photo of Bill Cramer to confirm. Thanks!
Trying one more time to see if anyone has another photo of Bill.
Any Bill Cramer photos out there?
