1898 Cleveland Spiders Baseball Program
Just acquired yesterday in a trade this 1898 Cleveland program and wanted to get Board Members opinions on the players pictured on the cover. In 20 years of collecting vintage programs I have never seen this example before. The program has some condition issues such as a missing piece on the top border that impacts the first 2 pages.
I usually don't pursue items in this condition but the program is for a game against my Cubs and I already have an 1898 Chicago program vs. Cleveland in my collection in which Cy Young pitched and Sockalexis in the lineup so I thought it made a nice companion piece. The program is neatly scored for a game played on July 23rd. Cy Young pitched and beat Chicago 4 to 2. Appears Clark Griffith pitched in relief for the Chicago. Starting at catcher for Chicago is rookie Frank Chance. Does not appear Sockalexis played but I have not pulled the box score yet. Another aspect that I like about is that it has a picture of the Cleveland team on the front cover and I assume the player in the top row 2nd from the right is Louis Sockalexis? In the middle of the picture are three players sitting in the center. I assume the player sitting on the left among the three is a Cy Young? Any thoughts on identifying Young and Sockalexis? Anybody ever seen this program design before? |

Can't help with the identification. I haven't seen the design for such a program before either, very cool

You have Sockalexis correctly identified but I think Young as on top row fourth from the right. The guy in the middle just to the left of the fold is Ed McKean. Also quick id's Wallace is third from the right in the fron trow, Criger is second from the right. I'll look a little closer later when I have a few minutes. Also, Zimmer is between Young and Sock.

Had a chance to look at it for a few minutes and these are some id's
Burkett--middle row just to the right of the fold McAleer-back row just to the left of the fold Nig Cuppy--front row far left Tebeau--I'm thinking he is the guy in the middle, middle row--tough to tell with the fold. I'll keep looking. Edited to add: Fred Blake--probably the guy third from left on top row. Zeke Wilson--probably the mustachioed guy top far left Jack O'Connor--may be the guy second from left in front row--not 100% on these three
