1895 KC Blues Team Photo

[inthecards]

oh yeah, it is approximately 19" x 15", image better than the phone snap I took.

"...No HOFers on the team.."

Actually, there is. It appears to be the '94 team. There is at least one copy of this photo with the names on the back. The major league faces present all have all been confirmed. The ID's are:

back row:
Henry Howe - Tim Donohue - Jim Manning - Bill Niles - Pete Daniels - Sam Nicholl

sitting:
George Darby - Tommy Hernon - Peck Sharp - Billy Klusman - Joe McGinnity - George Ulrich

You are my new best friend, never expected it to be that easy!

Thanks so much.

Regards,

Alan

It's always nice to be able to tell someone that their photo is better than they think it is.

Very cool, and worth a bump over a few of the autograph threads.

I posted my 1912-13 Kansas City photos over in the card forum, but it fared even poorer. If you really want to generate some discussion, you're going to need to forge McGinnity's name.

I would probably spell it incorrectly

I'm not sure that matters. The autographites were saying that a Lajoie signature with too many 'r's (I think that was the letter) was invalid simply for that reason. I can't tell you how many times I have signed my last name with an extra partial 'r', and as I get older it happens more often.

You have a great photo there!

Scott - send me a hi-res and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for your offer, Mark. I'm re-doing the 'cabinets' page of my web-site - will archive what's out there now and replace with hi-res scans from my current collection.
