Team ID help.

Posted this on the memorabilia side but had zero response so I figured I might try here as well. Any team ID would be helpful, I thought it looked like a college player (Baylor or Cal) but don't know. Thanks.

Ted Lyons (HOF'er) pitched for the Baylor Bears in 1923? Naming that player, or even the team, is a like finding a needle in a haystack. But it's been done before!!

In high school I lost an eye contact running around our outside track, which went around the football field. I walked all the way around the track and eventually found the contact on the ground. It can happen.

Thanks Leon, it is like searching for a needle in a haystack but I'll keep looking. The uni's I saw looking up early Baylor photos the socks look the same and the hat he is holding is white like they wore but thats about it. Unless this is an away uniform the ones I saw from the 20's just said Baylor on the front. I couldn't find any old Cal uniforms and I know there are a couple of minor league teams with the Bears (Mobile & Denver) but no real good photos to go with any of them.

Glad you found that contact but hopefully you have new ones now. lol

wasn't there a movie with this team? "The Bad News Bears"?

Yeah but he looks a little old to be in little league so I sort of ruled them out.

I warn people not to search "Vintage Bears baseball jersey" on Bing images.
I had no idea that would turn up.

Mine didn't come up with anything weird but I can only imagine what came up on yours. I've seen more "interesting" images pop up just looking for simple baseball things.
