Now look at this image from the September 30, 1908 edition of the Owensboro Messenger.

Great stuff. Would love to know if the image made it into the Police Gazette in the end.

It took Rube Marquard about four years before he found his way in the NL. during his early struggles he was referred to as the "$11,000 Lemon."

Ok, perhaps other 1st game photos do not exist. Let's open it up to pre WWI HOFer images in their rookie year. What is out there?
