Those are beauties, Ted!

Pictured here is Philadelphia born John McMullin. A southpaw, he started pitching for Troy in 1870. In 1871, he was the only starting pitcher on the Troy roster.
His 1871 pitching W - L record was 12 - 15 for Troy.

In 1874, as an Outfielder for the Philadelphia A's, John batted .346 in a 55- game season.

Thanks....Rob McK. and Kevin C.


I wish I had more of these cards of the 12 players on the Haymakers' roster.

But, you never know, perhaps someone on this forum will surprise us and post one (or more) of these 1871 cards.

Hi Joe

Thanks for the compliment.

Many years ago, I did see a couple more of these 1871 Photo/Scorecards; but, I don't recall which Troy players were on them.


Take care,

Just incredible.

Thanks Graig

And, what is also incredible is your artwork.

The panoramic of Mickey Mantle at bat at Yankee Stadium brings back fond memories of when I was a kid seeing him hit a tremendous HR.

Great items, Ted
I have special interest as my mother is from Troy, New York
I was able to purchase this Team Composite from Deacon White's estate several years ago. Sorry for the low resolution scan
It's quite large and present much better
Bottom left is the team's manager and first Jewish player, Lipman Pike a distant relative
