A very young Cal Mcvey In his Cincinnati Red Stocking uniform. Shown before in 19th century thread, hope it is ok here. There are a few team photos of this team, but I am only aware of 2 individuals in uniform, and hope some one in This thread might know of others.

Thought I would place this here as opposed to the June pickups. This 2nd no hitter/first Ebbets Field night game stub has been on my most wanted list for longer than I care to remember. What has always amazed me about these is that even though almost 39,000 fans were in the stands in Brooklyn that night, just how few of these have seemed to have survived.

Following the 1890 season, both the National League and the Players’ League were struggling financially. In an effort to strengthen the League for a then anticipated 1891 season, Players’ League executives decided to eliminate the Buffalo team, the weak sister of the League, and replace it with a stronger franchise. With this in mind, on October 4, 1890 a group of Players’ League representatives purchased the Cincinnati National League franchise to replace Buffalo. The document below is the original sale document for this transaction. However, over the next several months the Players’ League collapsed as many of its’ financial backers became convinced that fighting the National League for another season was not worth it. With the collapse of the Players’ League Cincinnati found its’ way back into the National League for the 1891 and all subsequent seasons.
