Tony AndreaJust purchased a circa 1890's old baseball team photo and need some help.
The seller states that two of the players in the picture are well known players from that era.
Dirty Jack Doyle & HOF 1st baseman Roger Connor.
Please see bottom row last two players on the right.
Doyle, (if it's him) would be the player with his right arm resting on his right knee,
and Connor, (if it's him) would be the player with bat leaning on his leg with his arms crossed.
Doyle did play for the Columbus Soloms and the photo originates from Dublin Ohio.
Written on the back is "Charles Fay Leppert, Dublin, Ohio.
Do any of these players look familiar to anyone and do you think the sellers story holds water?
Regardless, it's a neat photo. I enlarged the photo in the 2nd pic for close ups of the players.
Dan Bretta, where are you??
