Judge Dred (Fred)Plank was pretty much pitching full time for Philadelphia in the AL in 1902. I wonder which one they think is Plank.
Milwaukee was only in the AA for the 1891 season.
It's a nice looking picture.
Here's the item description:
Sepia-toned 6 ˝ x 4 ˝” photo shows team portrait of the Milwaukee ball club from the outlaw baseball league, the American Association, who were once a legit major league team from 1882 to 1891, but, starting in 1902, the year this photo more than likely radiates from, began operating independently outside of the Major Leagues. Standout left-handed pitchers Nick Altrock, who would go onto the Majors (primarily as a Chicago White Sox and Washington Senator) after his brief stint with Milwaukee, and Eddie Plank, baseball's winningest lefthander pre-Spahn, figure most prominently in photo. This great original is mounted on black board - which has four small punch holes - and has detached matte; both board and matte have written below photo, “Milwaukee,” in white ink. Photo is NRMT.
