Default Need some help with a 19th century baseball cabinet

Posted By: Adam J. Baxter

Nice pick-up Adam! Early photos like this from the New England area are always neat. The South Coast area of Massachusetts (Fall River, New Bedford, etc.)was a hotbed for baseball during the 1870's-'80's. Historical Societies in the area would go nuts over a piece like that.

One person you may want to try for info on this team would be Bob Richardson. I corresponded with him by mail a couple of years ago regarding the New England League, but haven't been in touch with him in a while(Perhaps someone else on the board has contact info?). Bob's pretty knowledgable about New England baseball and I wouldn't be surprised if he's heard of this team.
