I think he played for the Boston Rustlers in 1911.

He played for both Cleveland (for the first half of 1911) and the Boston Rustlers (for the second half). I still don't get the "A" on his uniform.

This is a very nice composite showing players in uniform.

Thanks Jake. I still don't understand why he would have an "A" on his uniform in 1910. I love that 1908 uniform. They occasionally wear it as a throwback. I think Boston has one of those classic uniforms, along with St. Louis, that I really like.

I believe some of the photos used to make the T206 set were taken years before the set actually came out.

I think you are looking at the pictures and the cards in todays light. Back then people didnt just carry around their cell phone, snap pictures and get them on instigram as fast as they can. Back then the process was probably painstaking by todays standards and they just used what was available to get them onto cards. Just thinking out loud.

Jake, I think you guys are right. While it seems odd that they would picture Cy in an old uniform from a team he had left a couple years earlier, that certainly makes more sense than this being a jersey from a team for whom he never played. It must be an old style Boston uniform. Thanks everybody.

+1 Many of the photos used in T206 were from years prior. Most of the Carl Horner portraits were taken early to mid '00s (aughts). |

No doubt they were Carl Horner photos. I think it was Boston Americans is what the BA stood for, but not sure. I have shown this, mainly to heckle Peter S, but it still fits in the thread....
