Default N28 Allen & Ginters NOT from 1887 ??
Posted By: Hal Lewis

No ... that's Elmer FOSTER ... who played for "New York" in 1886, took 1887 off apparently ... then played agains for New York in 1888 and 1889.

What John was saying earlier in this thread is that Elmer only played for the NY METS in 1886 ... and then returned with the NY GIANTS in 1888 (on the Hess card)


It was Tom FORSTER (with an extra "R") who ONLY played for the New York Mets in 1886 and then NEVER played for ANY team from New York ever again.
