Bruce BabcockIt took an hour and 20 minutes but it appears we have our man - and no Latin was involved.
So now the J.U. Stead cabinet checklist has four names. I believe the photo in the 2005 SCD catalog is Connor. Has anybody seen any of the others?
Keeler was a rookie in 1892, playing in only 20 games. He split 27 games between NY and Brooklyn in 1893. So where are the cabinets of Ward, Rusie, Fuller, Burke, etc., all of whom were prominent NYG players in 1892-93? Or King Kelly, for that matter, who finished his career with NY in 1893?
Could these be one of a kind, or are multiple copies of each player known to exist?
