Anyone Heard Of This Team? Sam Moore?
 

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Picked this up off of ebay because the seller found it in an Omaha estate and am hoping for it to be a local team. Anyone ever heard of Sam Moore's baseball team?<br><br> <img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/sammoore1.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>Clint</b><p>Dan, I can't help you with the picture but I think it's awesome. I really like the decal bat they have. It looks like it could be a Joe Jackson model.<br><br>Clint

Posted By: <b>Dave Williams</b><p>I see this Sam Moore has a connection with White's institute, a large, well known group home/foster care organization that has existed for a long time.<br><br>They have their own school on the grounds as well. <br><br>Here is the link. Maybe they know about Sam Moore.<br><br><a href="http://www.whiteskids.org" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.whiteskids.org</a>/<br><br>The athletic director at our High School in Warsaw, Indiana (retired last year) was a White's graduate, and also a division 1 basketball player at Evansville, so they do apparently have a decent athletic tradition.

Posted By: <b>Dave Williams</b><p>In reading the history of White's they took Indian children in - <br><br>1882-1895 Indian children are sent to White's to be educated and taught to farm until the U.S. Government stops Indian children programs.<br><br>If this Moore was an Indian at White's it was in that time frame.<br><br><a href="http://www.whiteskids.org/richheritage.asp" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.whiteskids.org/richheritage.asp</a>

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Nope, I just kind of put it on the backburner through the holidays. I have lots of stuff like this that I just set aside until I run across something that tells me more about an item. I was hoping for a Nebraska connection somewhere, but I'm leaning towards this being an Indiana photo for the time being.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>One step closer to figuring out this team....found this today while researching something else...it was posted to the CU forums about two years ago.<br><br><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/?action=view&amp;current=halifax.jpg"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/halifax.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br><br><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/?action=view&amp;current=halifaxb.jpg"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/halifaxb.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br><br>I'm 99.9% sure that it's the same guy smack dab in the middle of the Sam Moore team photo.<br><br><a href="http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/?action=view&amp;current=sammoore1.jpg"><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/nudan92/sammoore1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br><br><br>Now to try and figure out this Halifax team. Nothing listed in SABR's database...must be a Canadian team?

Posted By: <b>joe brennan</b><p>Dan, I think I own that postcard. When I get home later I'll look and see if I have any notes with it. I sometimes research the card, add notes and put them together. I'll let you know.<br><br>In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.
