That is a cool cabinet! Half the team are Chicago players. I wonder what the occasion was for the picture. Looks like a few HOFers.
Anybody want to try and put together a list of the players. Ward is two to the right of Anson. Looks like Pfeffer to the immediate left of Anson. Is that Baldwin behind Anson? Is that Williamson next to the mascot? |
I'm not sure about "cancelling" a guy who has been dead 103 years. However I think its fair to question if he didn't take his stance on not playing against black players if we would have gotten to Josh Gibson or Oscar Charleston in the MLB. Great cabinet card
