Back again with photo and needing help with ID

Take a look at this link. Wade Stadium was built in 1940 and the team used to play at Athletic Park prior to this. I used to play baseball in Wade Stadium when I was younger and I believe this is probably from Athletic Park which obviously makes it pre 1940. You can see the train tracks in the background and a smaller seating area. Wade also had a brick wall around it which your photo doesn’t appear to include. I’ll see if I have a program from 1939. They were a Cardinals affiliate at that time period.

Thanks. I did. I found out about their affiliation with the Cardinals while doing my search and was thinking about contacting them to see if they had any history.

Here is an example of a program from 1945 and although many programs during the war time had little content, adding that to the Class D league, there was very little content and not even a roster.

I would contact UMD archives before the Cardinals.

Thanks - will do that. Thanks for showing me the program also.

I don’t have this scorecard, but I’d like to. This looks like it would go a long way to identifying your player.

I had seen this during my search and tried to blow it up to compare uniforms but it wasn't clear enough. Thanks.

I have reached out to them and the lady, in her reply, said she was sending my query to the right person. Will post if I hear anything.
