Terry-
There's no telling what else is out there. Al Bonner played for a lot of clubs across the country and there are likely team photos and post cards for other squads besides Seattle. Just have to dig. Google is your friend.
Always fun rummaging through baseball history. Have a look at the rosters at bbref.com for each of the teams he was on. He played with Casey Stengel at Montgomery in 1912. That is seriously cool. He played under Iron Man McGinnity at Butte in 1917. He rubbed shoulders with a whole mess of Zeenutters and Obakers who are almost like part of the gang here at Net54. He put up pretty decent numbers too. I take it he was your mother's father. Looks like he was out of baseball not long after she was born but I bet she heard great stories growing up.
