Hoffman photos
I'm wrong about the year. The Ford photo would have been taken in 1908.
The Highlanders in 1904 as Tom Hughes is one of the subjects. That was his only year in New York. The Cubs are probably 1908 or 1909. I'd have to check. lumberjack |

Edited to add: I think it is likely that these photos were taken during spring training in 1907. Players of that era typically wore their uniforms from the previous season during the spring; they first wore their new uniforms on Opening Day. Each of the players in the above photos also played for New York in 1907. Hughes had pitched for the Highlanders in September 1906 and then again in September 1907; according to Sporting Life, he was also with them during their pre-season spring trip to Atlanta in 1907. The other players started the season with New York. Last edited by RUKen; 09-25-2018 at 06:23 AM. |

hoffman highlanders
You're right, thank you. 1907, of course. I jumped to conclusions and thought of Long Tom Hughes. The images are: Griffith, Brockett, Hughes, Hoffman, Laporte, Moriarity (2), Keeler, Ira Thomas, Joe Doyle, Conroy, Walter Clarkson, Deacon McGuire, Kleinow and Jimmy Williams. It's almost impossible to find original photos of some of these guys.
The Cubbies were taken at a later date, l909 or 1910, as Jimmy Archer is part of that group (he was with Detroit in 1907). lumberjack |

I believe the Cubs set is likely 1909.... I have the Jack Pfiester & Del Howard snapshot photos. Howard was on the Cubs from 1907-1909.
