An interesting side note on the 1887 cabinet. For those of you who have read or are reading "Fifty-Nine in "84" (The Hoss Radbourn bio) you will remember that Cyclone Miller is mentioned as having pitched a few games for Providence in 1884. Joe "Cyclone" Miller was on the 1887 Lincoln team and is pictured at left in the top row of the cabinet. Also pictured is Fred Lange, author of a famous work about baseball on the Pacific Coast.
