There was a time when players wore uniforms that corresponded to their postion. I know I have an old Harpers woodcut that depicts similar uniform differences. And I think I read something once about how all first basemen wore one type of jersey, the pitcher another... someone here will either know it or know where to pull a book down and tell you. So yes, there was a time when players on one team wore different jerseys.
