If it is real, then it is a hell of a piece. In my research I did find out a lot about the Maine League. According to a lot of what I read, the Maine League was actually quite a league. One author referred to it as a "mini Major League" where most owners were potato barons who were very serious about their teams. In my reading I did find a lot of references to owners hiring ringers to play a few games here and there for drawing cards and for important games, so it is possible that Sockalexis did play briefly for Bangor in 1907. I was just frustrated I couldn't find any hard references to him being involved with the league that late in his life as anything more than an umpire. This postcard must be incredibly rare if authentic. He must have only been a part of the team for days, weeks at the most.
