Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Is the Lindsay on the T212 Obak the same Bill Lindsay who played for the Naps in 1912? They don't appear to bear any resemblance.<br /><a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/'><img src='http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/509/unknownrc6.jpg' border='0'/></a><img src="https://www.gfg.com/cardimg/587/92621.jpg"/><br /><br />Is there an online resource that can be used to answer questions like this and validate what minor league teams a pre-war major league player played for?<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Thanks Steve! That's a great resource. I take it that from Lindsay not appearing on that list, that the Obak Lindsay is NOT the Naps Bill Lindsay. <br /><br />Is there any other resource for tracing the path of a pre-war player (one who doesn't have an OBAK)?

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>The Obak pictures John Lindsay. <br /><br />Bill Lindsay did play in the PCL though for Portland and Oakland.

Posted By: <b>Shawn</b><p>Matt,<br /><br />Not sure if this helps, but here is a photo of Bill Lindsay when he played for the 1910 New Orleans Pelicans... There are more of him with that team I believe.<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc139/smokelessjoe/1910NOLAPelicans.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>Dan & Shawn - thanks for the information; it's a great help.<br /><br />Unfortunately, this means that it seems I've got to track down either a series 8 T210 or a T211 to get him on a card instead of the T212 <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Why don't you just go for one of his Zeenut cards?

Posted By: <b>Sean BH</b><p>Oh Matt...it's not that easy <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />I've been searching forever for any other Lindsay than the T212; someone had a T211 a while ago, but it was a bit out of my price range.<br /><br />Good luck!<br />
