Eddie Collins (HOF) entered Columbia University in 1903. Although just 5 foot 9 inches, he was quarterback and captain of the school football team, and the starting shortstop on the University baseball team for three years.
I would guess this is a class team photo. I did notice, a couple players also appear to be in a 1905 varsity team photo with Collins. Although still in school, Eddie Collins joined a semi-pro team in the summer of 1906, playing under the name "Eddie Sullivan". The practice was not unusual among college players and he probably would have gotten away with it if his playing hadn't attracted the attention of the Philadelphia Athletics. They signed him to a contract and he actually got into six games before returning to Columbia for his senior year. Once his professional playing was discovered, Collins was declared ineligible for his senior season. He was allowed to stay on as a coach while he completed his degree. |

This is a cabinet photo, but thought it would be of interest on this thread.
Appears to be a young "KiKi" Cuyler (HOF) in the back row, second from the left. My research shows this ball team is the 1311 Elks of Willimantic, Connecticut. Cuyler was from Michigan, so not sure why he would be at this location - unless he had relatives nearby... I contacted the lodge but they had no information. Cuyler's father had at one time, worked on the Great Lakes in the Life Saving Service, so there may be a connection to Connecticut through the Coast Guard |

Thanks to a great board member, I have a couple new postcards. First, a Guy Lafluer pre rookie card which has a very low pop, and second a Brush Postcard with my favorite player of Ty Cobb.
