Heritage photo - wrong team
 

Lot 81301 description:
1915 Pittsburgh Rebels (Federal League) Cabinet Photograph. The rogue Federal League lasted just two years before its declaration of bankruptcy, but the repercussions resonated far beyond, ever so slightly loosening the death grip management had maintained over labor. One of many American and National Leaguers to jump ship to the Feds was Paddy O'Connor, who is pictured with his fittingly named Rebels teammates, and from whose collection this image derives.

This is actually the 1908 Pittsburgh Pirates during spring training. The group includes:
Harley Young – Lefty Liefield – Vic Willis – Warren Gill

Beals Becker – Hunky Shaw – Ed Phelps – Ed Abbatichio – Deacon Phillipe - Paddy OConnor (in a Springfield uni) - ? – Fred Clarke

Tommy Leach – Danny Moeller - ? - ? – Howie Camnitz – Nick Maddox - ? – Jim Kane - ?

Nice catch, Mark. My eye went right to Clarke the moment you posted that pic. and reminded me of the two photos (RPPCs) I have from right in that era. Many of the same guys are in my pics.

Can anyone identify Paddy O'Connor in this photo (1916 Hartford Senators)? Also, Waite Hoyt spent half the season on this team as well, can anyone spot him in the photo? One more question, does anyone know why Kenesaw Landis would be pictured with this team?

O'Connor is back row 2nd from left in the Hartford photo. I can't pick Hoyt out of the photo, but given the quality of some of the faces, I can't be sure he is not there.

Thanks, Mark
