Default Very Rare 1904 Buffalo Team Photo (Eastern Lge)
Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Well, we all know that in 1904 the NY Giants refused to play the Boston (A.L.) team. McGraw & Brush (Giants) and Pulliam (NL Pres.) expected the Highlanders (Yankees) to win the A.L. championship. When Boston beat the Highlanders on the last day of the season in a dramatic playoff game, the above officials of the NY Giants considered Boston to be an "inferior" team, not worthy of competing with the Giants. So the Giants declared themselves World Champions and the season came too a sudden end.

Meanwhile, in 1904 in the Eastern (future International) Lge. the Buffalo
team surprised all the experts and won the Championship. Under
Stallings strong leadership, perhaps it wasn't such a big surprise.
So, here they are! You will recognize quite a few players that
were subsequently in the T206 set.

Can anyone tell me if this team photo has an ACC designation?
