Richard J KolodaOK I've seen the movie --I always thought it was the Superbas as there was a reference to Wheat.
ON the other hand the uniform resembles the Brookyln Feds --because of the blue tops and the cap style, and the multicolored leggings, involving a non-white color which the Superbas wore (see Marc Okkonen's The Federa lLeague of 1914-1915, published by SABR)
One can compare contemporary Superbas uniforms by looking at Tom Simon's Deadball stars of the National League (also published by SABR).
John Bunny was a tremendous baseball fan as there is a photo of him in a book of vintage baseball photos that came out in the 1990s. He died of Bright's disease in 1915.
