Early Omaha Baseball

I know that a member of this forum has a whole set of individual photos of the Omaha Robin Hoods..including Clarence Mitchell. I'll point this thread out to him.

Thanks Dan, I'll get these scanned and up but it'll probably be a day or two.

Sue would like them scanned at as high a resolution as possible. On some she will zoom into parts of the photo so scanning at 300 or 600 dpi (or higher) is best.

Thanks Dan, for getting in touch with other collectors. I think it is going to be an excellent production.

It looks like they are being resized by Photobucket so If you provide an email, I'll send the full 300dpi scans directly to you.

Awesome! Thanks Andy!!!

edited to add: I notice the photos were developed in Waterloo which was in the Western League in 1936...It's probable that these were taken at Waterloo instead of Omaha.

Hi Dan,
Ya' know, I didn't even put that together but it does look like maybe some photographer in Iowa got the teams as they came through (or at least the Robin Hoods.)

The only Graham's Ice Cream I could find is in Ottumwa, IA which is about 100 miles from Waterloo, IA...still I think it is Waterloo.
