I believe it was 1906. He had played with the Prairie Roses before that and I posted that earlier in this thread. He played for several different teams in KC.

Nice group of cards there (especially the last one). The Gilliam shows him with the Santurce Congregeros (Crabbers) insread of Toleteros though.

Huh. Okay, I concede complete ignorance on the card set itself. (Sorry Adam).

I was just going by the translation of the uniform. Señora Alfaro, my high school Spanish teacher, would be proud, but she was probably ignorant of Mexican baseball as well

Make that Puerto Rican baseball. Geez. This is what I get for making a quick post without researching first!

In order to redeem myself by contributing something to this thread, how about this photo of Bobby Brown in a Cincinnati Reds uniform.



Until a few days ago, I wouldn't have said it fit the theme. But I was chatting with Graig about it, and he dug up a Google Books excerpt from "Bridging Two Dynasties: The 1947 New York Yankees" which states in the chapter on Bobby Brown:
"In 1941, while a junior at Galileo, he was noticed by a Cincinnati Reds scout, who had seen the Galileo squad destroy the University of California freshman baseball team. After the game, the scout, who was also a professor at Berkeley, asked young Bobby if he would like to go to Cincinnati and work out with the Reds. Bobby, a shortstop, promptly agreed. That summer he took the train to Ohio and worked out for ten days with the Reds, followed by an additional three-day workout when the team went to Chicago."
As this shot was taken by George Burke, it is likely that this photo was taken when the Reds came to Chicago, Burke's base of operations. Looking at the Reds' schedule for 1941, there are only two instances where they played at home for 10+ days followed by 3 days in Chicago, with the second of these occurring in late September (in other words, not summer). The first schedule match for 1941 had the Reds in Chicago from May 23 to 25, which fits the narrative above. Thus we have a young Bobby Brown in the uniform of a club that he never officially played for, nearly 5 years before he would signed by the Yankees and sent to Newark, and just over 5 years before he would make his major league debut in New York.

Lance, I apologize for making a joke at your expense - I knew you could take it, or I wouldn't have (plus, I have no self-control )

Cool photo and I think you are right as there is no doubt in my mind that is Wrigley Field where the picture was taken.

Scott, no worries. I have thick skin, and I'd much rather you make a joke of it than start your replay with "Hey dummy..."

AND I learned a little something about that particular card issue (after fumbling a couple more times), so it's all good.
