Buffalo Ramblers
Hello, The photo is of a basketball team that my grandfather and his brother were on. The team was mostly known as the Buffalo Germans but at times called themselves the Buffalo Ramblers and the Buffalo Orioles (primarily during the WWI era). The team is one of the few teams (3 or 4) that was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame when it opened in 1961. This was a Buffalo YMCA team, one of the earliest in the country. They had quite a long run and an outstanding record. Please let me know if you'd like more details or for me to identify the players.
