I wanted to put this cabinet out to the Net 54 crowd for any help on identifying players and date. I have done some initial research and have identified Julius Doc Wiseman on the bottom left, but need to confirm if the player on the Top 2nd from right is Pete Sweeney ? (Old Judge Washington 3rd baseman) Also, is the 3rd player from the top left, George Bradley (3rd baseman Sioux City) ? Some other faces look familiar, but I can't place them... Any help would be appreciated. Also, anyone want to take a stab at the date ? My research has this team pegged between 1896-1900, but need further help... Perhaps this is a Nashville team from a year not represented on Baseball Reference ?? These guys have those quilted pants with fancy belts, ring bats, painter's caps and the gloves for a few of the guys look like Catcher's mitts and possibly 1b or 3b gloves compared to the smaller OF gloves. Thanks in advance for any information you might provide - (I can send scans if you want to see close up. The picture is in amazing condition for the age)
