S GrossOK, home sick today (which stinks, because it is friggin' [TM] out), so I thought this would be a nice little research project.
Could not find an exact team but, some guidelines:
Ostdiek was mgr. for Spokane 1910-13.
Starr played in majors 1905, 1908-09.
McAleese played in majors 1909 also.
A "W. Thomas" palyed a bit in 1908 and Ohl a bit in 1910.
So my season guess would be 1906 or 1907.
Also the players who played in the majors, and I could find, all were from mid-west or the East coast. Even though Ostdiek points to PCL, I would think not. Also if it were PCL, there would be more recognizable names (from obaks, etc). For the same reason I would probably knock out the IL, AA, and SL (t206). Probably a B league team, East coast, mid-west (i.e. Ohio, Mich, etc.).
The answer is definitly out there, please keep us up to date.
