Is This a Kentucky Team on this postcard?

[FrankWakefield]

Hey guys...

I saw that, and didn't think Harrodsburg ever had a team. But they had one for one year, 1892, they had a 1-8 record, nailing down last place in a 4 team league...

As for that postcard, maybe a town team or a high school team, and I'd guess the former. The thing to do would be to scour issues of a 1922 newspaper and see what turns up.

It looks real enough. But I would have expected a photo of the entire team. When I see composites like that, I think that individual pictures were taken and offered to the players or whoever, then the images were assembled into what we see there.

I'm leaving it alone.

The July 17, 1909 Sporting Life mentions that Central Kentucky will have a six club league called Central Kentucky Amateur Base Ball League including Harrodsburg with manager J. Hall Grimes.
I think if we can get the names of the players shown on the card it might be possible to pin it down.

The 1922 Harrodsburg team played in a Kentucky semi-pro league. Some of the other teams in the league were Danville, Lebanon, and Gravel Switch.

Thanks for this great info guys. That is why I still love this board.

And FWIW - The season opener was played in Harrodsburg May 11, 1922 at Voorhies park.
