Seeking opinions about flannel jersey

[Chris Counts]

Hi, here's an old flannel jersey I just picked up, and I'm looking for opinions about it. The seller said it came from a African-American family that inherited it from a deceased relative. The relative, according to the seller, lived — and play baseball — in Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland. While the story sounds like many I've heard — and not taken seriously — this one seemed at least possible for the simple fact that a Negro League team from each of the three cities existed at some time during the 20s and 30s, when this jersey seemingly was manufactured. And each of those three teams was called the Buckeyes, leading to the assumption that the "B" in "C.B." stands for "Buckeyes." The jersey, meanwhile, was produced in Cincinnati. Even if it proves out to be nothing but a town team, a college team or low-level minor league team, the jersey is still pretty cool and the price was fair ...

Outstanding acquisition! Can't help identifying the team, but hope its from one of the cities you've mentioned...

Very attractive... Beautifully made. Top quality in its day... A great acquisition, regardless of its origin. Congrats!

I would post something in the Negro Leagues sub-forum of SABR - maybe someone has seen team photos of one of those teams that matches your jersey.
