1913-14 Petersburg Team, Sam Rice?
 

Posted By: <b>Rhys</b><p>I have a team photo of the Petersburg Goobers of the Virginia League. I think this is the 1914 team since the Manager is wearing the words "Champions" down the front of his uniform to signify that they were the 1913 champions of the league. If that is the case, Sam Rice should be in the photo. Can anyone else confirm his inclusion in the photo with some early career photos or express any opinions? <br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br /><br />Rhys<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff129/prewarsports/goobers.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Todd Schultz</b><p>if at all, looks like back right on the end, which kind of looks like this m101-6 shot (to me anyway):<br /><img src="http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff265/nolemmings/19m1016rice.jpg">

Posted By: <b>howard</b><p>I agree w/Dan that the guy sitting in the front looks more like Sam Rice than the guy in the back. Also, the guy in the back looks like one of the bigger players on the team and Sam was only 5' 9" and skinnny.
