Looking for minor league player - Jerry Connell
 

I received an email asking if I knew of any cards or photos of Jerry Connell. Here is the message-

I am looking for a baseball card or team photo from the 1900-1920 era, for Jerry Connell, player and manager for the New Haven minor league teams. Could you help me?

Any help will be appreciated...

Leon
 

Team photo from my 1905 Spalding BB Guide. I can focus in on Connell
and provide you a more close-up picture. But, it may be too grainy.

Hi Ted
Thanks for helping with that. I am sure our person looking for a picture will appreciate it too. Since they only had the one question they didn't actually register for the board but I did send a link to this thread....regards

Leon - He may be featured on a W601 Sporting Life Team composite. If I recall, New Haven won the league one of those years that Sporting Life was doing Minor League composites (1901-1906 time frame) --- I believe I have seen a New Haven W601, but can't find an example right now...
