Professional Team in Norwich?

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>Was there ever at any point a proffesional team in Norwich CT? Curious if any such player cards exist from 1880's-1920. Thanks

Posted By: <b>Steve M.</b><p>Pretty sure there was in a team in the Connecticut League along with Springfield(MA)during the period 1905 to 1911. All of my reference materials are at home so I'll check it out and post later. Got another "lead" for me? <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>This is the years that Norwich played in the Connecticut league:<br /><br />Norwich Witches 1899-1901<br />Norwich Reds 1902-1903<br />Norwich Reds 1904-1907<br /><br />I don't have any rosters for any of the teams so I can't answer your question as to any cards of any of the players.
