I had the ingenious idea to look up players with the last name Bliss, to see if any played for a minor league team named the "Rajahs" and while I found no matches, I did find this. Use this info for good only, no evil please.

Dick Bliss played for an 1894 California Players Lg team named the San Francisco Hot Peanuts. The team had an outfielder named John Fogarty, no mention if he played center field.

I swear if someone ever makes replica jerseys from the minor leagues, I am buying a SF Hot Peanuts jersey, along with a Utica Pentups one and half of the 1902 Missouri Valley League teams: Iola Gasbags, Jefferson City Convicts and Nevada Lunatics
