Women's baseball CdV

[1880nonsports]

I've been told I could be more succinct. I started out with a simple response and just got carried away. Sorry about that. I think I'm honored to share space with the likes of Barry - although you might just have insulted him?

Henry.....? Articulation....? Can you use both of those in a sentence? Joking of course. Does look like a really large, long bat.....hard to tell from the sitting position the subjects are in. Great CDV though.....conceivable it could be something other than BB? That coloring is interesting but does obscure things that could definitively tell you more about the photo.....

Agreed....interesting and informative posts always, but not succinct.

They have the appearance of women to me.

There is an old cabinet on ebay currently, of a baseball player, and he also looks like a woman, in terms of body shape and soft features. See if you can find an 1860's cdv of 4-6 baseball players, and compare features to yours - could they also be mistaken for women?

sometimes it can be a little difficult to tell - even when you know who it is......

We New Yorkers have to stick together even if I am from the west side, the far west side.

Tom - the bat does look massive. I wonder how easily one of those men/women could have swung it. Looks almost half the size of the person.

Not nearly as old as the CDV shown, but the oldest image of a women's team that I have:

This is a team photo from 1876 of the Vassar College Resolutes for comparison
