1890's Boston Old Timers Photo ID Help
Posted By: Rhys
I have this Imperial Cabinet photo which is labeled on the back "Old Time Ball Players at Boston Base Ball Ground" in light pencil. I am 100% sure that it is the Boston Baseball Grounds when you view the whole photo (which would not fit on my scanner) due to the grandstands and some posters on the walls for Boston Companies. I blew up the photos of their faces to see if anyone on here can identify any of the Old Timers. I am confident in my estimation of circa 1890-95 on this images age which would mean most of these guys played in the 1860's or 1870's. These would have to be prominant early Amatuer or Professional Players you would think by the fact that they are all decked out in beautiful uniforms and posed for a professional image. I belive this to have been taken before opening day or even a Temple Cup game because the crowd is packed, women are dressed in their best, and there is bunting on the grandstands when you view the entire image. |
