Wow, I missed the Grateful Dead reference. My bad. And I still think this photo may be post-1900. But the difference between 1898 and 1902 is admittedly small.

"The Casualties of 1888."
Hi Ruby,
Not sure if this is your grandfather??? But thought you might find this interesting. Below is a link to an injury report for Ohio coal mines. You will notice on page 66 of the journal, a reference to a "John Anderson" from the Minglewood Coal Mine located in North Lawrence, Ohio. It states "January 18, 1888 John Anderson, at Minglewood mine, Stark county; back hurt by fall of slate." I know this does not help much with your baseball research, but still intriguing if it is your grandfather. https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/bitstream/...NL_v18_056.pdf Shawn

nice catch, Shawn
We assume pictures like this depict "town teams," but a "mine team" seems equally plausible. And even though John Anderson is a common name, the fact that the mine was in the same town as the poster's grandfather is pretty compelling. I note JA, if it is the same one, was in the mines at only 15 years old. Makes you realize we don't have things so bad in comparison a hundred years later.

Dear Tim, Your sure right Shawn did hit a good one. My great grandfather was also named Jonh Anderson and also worked in that mine so might have been either. My great grandfather came from the mined of England to work in the mines in Ohio to make a better life for his family. So true we have it so much better than they did. They all worked so hard at such a young age so we could all go to school and become teachers and bussiness owners in our family. But we as they did always had the love of baseball. Thanks for your interest. Ruby
