Early Omaha Baseball

[tachyonbb]

Sue Maryott from Nebraska Education Television is producing a show which is tentatively titled "Rosenblatt the Final Inning". In addition to featuring Omaha Municipal Stadium/Rosenblatt they are doing a segment on the various Omaha teams from the 1890's and early 1900's.

Specifically she is looking for high resolution scans of the Omahogs (1885-89), Indians (1892), Rangers (1904), Rourkes (1905-20) Buffaloes (1921-1927), Packers (1930-1935), Robin Hoods (1936), Cardinals Class "A" (1947-54), (yes I know they played at Legion Park in Council Bluffs in 47 and 48), the AAA Cardinals from 54-59 and the Dodgers from 61-62. Any pictures of Rourke/Legion Park and Omaha Municipal are also desired.

If you wish to share any of your collection on this subject pm me or email me at besser at omahamarian.org

Ive sold a lot of Omaha Dodgers and Cardinals things of late. I will forward this info to the guy that buys all my Omaha (also omaha Knights) items. He has a very nice collection but never shows it. But Ill put a bug in his ear for you and Sue M.

Hey Bruce, I just picked up a nice photo of Mel Harder in his Omaha Buffaloes uniform. I can send it to you in email.

Thanks Dan,
I saw that auction after it closed. Great pic of the Buffalo on the uniform.
She wants high quality scans 300 dpi or greater. The video will be in high def and she wants to do a lot of Ken Burns stuff (i.e. focus in on part of the picture).

I know that a member of this forum has a whole set of individual photos of the Omaha Robin Hoods..including Clarence Mitchell. I'll point this thread out to him.

Thanks Dan, I'll get these scanned and up but it'll probably be a day or two.
