Breitenstein question???
I'm doing some research and dug up some conflicting info on Breitenstein. Is the player on the T206 and the T210 considered to be the same guy? Ted? Were there other Breitensteins? More later, I need to turn on the hockey game and make some scans.

John, according to my records the guy in the T210 Series 1 is not Ted Breitenstein, his name was William G. Breitenstein, while the Breitenstein in Series 8 (w/ New Orleans) is Theodore P. (Ted) Breitenstein.

Rhett,
I had always thought Ted was on the Columbia team and made his way to New Orleans, or vice-versa. These guys had to have been related. (Where are the ear experts?) I assume "Vinegar Bill" was a playing manager for Columbia? John

Ted Breitenstein :
Here is the T210 and T213-1 cards of Breit... (He was New Orleans Ace back in the 1908-1909 era) I don't have his T206 card anymore, and I can't remember if the image is identical to these 2 images or a Profile shot. (I believe it looks like the T213-1 Coupon...

Breitenstein Follow Up :
John - Sabr, shows that Bill played for Shreveport, La. in 1905 and 1906 and from the looks of his career he bounced around between Louisana,Florida,Georgia,South Carolina, and Nashville (South).
Ted obviously played for New Orleans, but he got his start in the Southern Leagues in 1902 with Memphis and played there 2 years, while Bill played down the road in Nashville in 1902. I think with the names, and the time frame, along with them both playing in sister cities in Tennessee at the same time and sister cities in Louisana at the same time, these chaps have to be related. Conclusive... not at all, but the evidence screams brothers... Sabr also shows Ted was born in St. Louis, but no birthplace for Bill. Interesting and good questions... Hope the above info sheds some light...
