Bingo!...I am working with the Chisolhm Trail Museum in OK, on an exhibit they are creating on Carl Mays, as their country team was the first baseball team he played on. I am helping with the re-creation of the local teams uniform. A local historical clothier, who is on the board of directors for the museum, will be recreating the uniform as authentically as possible.
They will also recreate the 1920 New York Yankee's uniform that he would have been wearing when he hit Chapman.
This 1909/10 photograph is an original copy in their museum collections. The photograph was featured in a story from the "Hennessey Clipper" newspaper prior to the 1910 baseball season, as a preview for the upcoming year. It is the only known photograph of the original "Hennessey Clipper" team wearing their uniforms. There was a photograph of the team prior to the 1909 season, however, they were wearing uniforms with Fire Department logos on the front.
If anyone knows additional information, which would be of benefit to the museum and their future exhibit, they would greatly appreciate any assistance.
