Bloomington Bloomers? Postcard
 

Hi-
I purchased the postcard scanned below at a small paper show in Brimfield MA a few weeks ago. I got it because I thought it was at least a college team and possibly a minor league team (and it was relatively inexpensive). Is this the Bloomington Bloomers team? I found an old thread regarding another Bloomers picture but most of the photos do not show. Here is that thread http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=119677

Here is a Wikipedia article on the team itself
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomington_Bloomers


Only three people on my PC have Bloomington spelled out while the others only have a B on their uniforms so I was not sure if this was a mixture of players or a team. Can anyone recognize any players in my postcard? Please let me know if you need better scans.

Thanks,
Alan

Here is a 600 dpi scan attached through imgur to aid with identification. Thanks again for any help you can provide!

Sorry to dig up an old thread but being that Bloomington, IL is down the road from me I can say with near certainty that the picture is from the Bloomers.

Take a look at this..

If you want more info on the picture I'd contact the McLean County Historical Society. They're pretty good at piecing together the history of the area.

Beautiful postcard BTW..

Thank you David! I really appreciate the information and lead for the historical society. I will contact them this week.
