Haven't posted anything to this thread for a while. Thought I'd share this fantastic RPPC of the 1906 Massillon Tigers, 1906 Ohio League Champions after defeating the Canton Bulldogs two games to one in a season ending series. For those not familiar with the story, there were accusations that the second game in this series was fixed to assure there would be a lucrative third game between the teams.
A few key players in this photo include:
- Ted Nesser of the famous Nesser football family
- Peggy Parrott who is believed to have completed the first successful pass in professional football during the 1906 season
- Tiny Maxwell who the Maxwell award is named after
