Original Baseball Studio Photo - What year?

[Kawika]

Here's a link to Valdosta's teams at BaseballRef.com. Have you looked up your great-grandfather's name there?

Thanks for the link. At first glance I don't see his name in the early years rosters. It's possible the picture was just a family friend. Mom's dad died just after the war when she was 11. So we don't have too much history on that side of the family. I have had this photo in my study a long time.

I work in Valdosta. Might be able to help.
What was his name?
I have some local baseball buffs as friends. Might be able to get the year anyway.
Back in then those days, we had a minor league team so maybe.....
Be glad to help.

His last name was Delk. But, in tracing back family history through census and such, the family name is recorded a lot of different ways. Like he is also found as Delke, Dutch and some others. It seems immigrant names got all kinds of spellings throughout the years (they were German). I will look through my files to get more info. And it might not even be him. Looking at the link, it looks like this pic may be of the club Valdosta Millionaires? Any help appreciated. Cool studio photo...original.

A Google image search shows two pics of what appears to be the 1913 team:

Cool. The uniforms are quite different in style and markings. My photo seems to be in right time frame? He looks snazzy.

sorry for redundent response. I don't know how to delete this one.

Cool. These uniforms look like a different style and markings. My photo seems to be about same time frame? Perhaps the style of glove helps date it?
