Hey Doug, nice! I have that Maple Leaf woodcut.
And I have this one, which you also posted. Here's a bigger shot of it. International Base-Ball The Boston Champions Harper's Weekly June 27, 1874. There were some ballplayers on that team, George Wright, Harry Wright, A G Spalding, James O'Rourke, Cal McVey, Ross Barnes... 9 1/2" x 14".

I love these woodcuts. Thanx for the larger picture, Frank.
I don't have anymore that are scanned until 1869. Doug

With apologies to anyone who has 1873, 1872, 1871, or 1870...
(please still post 'em if you have 'em)... 1869 The Picked Nine of the "Red Stocking" Base-Ball Club, Cincinnati, Ohio. Harper's Weekly, July 3, 1869. Sorry Doug, just had to beat you to this one. And with this one I'm done. Dick Hurley - George Wright - Doug Allison - Cal McVey - Andy Leonard Charlie Sweasy - Fred Waterman - Harry Wright - Asa Brainard - Charlie Gould I'm a Cardinals fan. But I think that major league baseball pissed away part of their tradition when they abandoned Opening Day at Cincinnati. That is where the first game should be every season. Tradition can't be bought, it is a product of doing something correctly for a significant period of time. Baseball had that, and pissed it away. Last edited by FrankWakefield; 05-10-2009 at 09:09 PM.
