I won the 1887 Pelican cabinet. The team had many players who later were featured in the Old Judge set, including Count Campau, Farmer Vaughn, Jumbo Cartwright, and George McVey. The most interesting player, however, was the captain, Abner Powell. Powell invented the tarp to cover the field during rain, certainly an issue in New Orleans. He also came up with the idea of the rain check and organized the first Ladies Day. 1887 was the Pelican's first year in the Southern Association and they won the league championship that year.
