It's alright to have an opinion unless the opinion turns out to be wrong, then it becomes an ethical obligation to acknowledge those opinions were wrong-

P/S--So where are all the Rowdies now? -stay tuned!

I will be holding my breath with anxiety awaiting your next "stay tuned" post.:rolleyes:

This 5 foot 7 , 150 lbs little fellow was asked to join the Rabbits to play first base under the instructions of Comiskey-( can anyone ID this baseball player?) -stay tuned!

Sorry, its not the smaller actor of the three brothers on an old popular western TV show but the first name is the same--??

"It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man"... Jack Handey

Sorry, checking on your input we couldn't find a Jack Handey whom played baseball. (Although The first letter "J" was correct )

Question--Cap Anson didn't have a mustache in his early Iowa baseball playing days. I wonder why??

Another Clue
 

This little fellow played baseball for Boston too--

Joe was on the team--Attn: Serious Baseball Historians
 

Yes, its documented Joe was asked to join the Dubuque Rabbits--We just need to know what year.--??-Yes, we are hoping the date matches the date on our Dubuque baseball team photo--this would be a tremendous discovery!

WOW, Joe Jackson played there. Is he the third guy from the center in the row?

Good observation, but wasn't Jack Johnson a Boxer, not a baseball player?

No he played 3rd base with the PawSox back in the day.

FYI--Dubuque Photographer HA Jordan inscribed on the pedestal I circled in red--) S1-- When I showed the photo to a photographer, he points out, Tom its not the letter S but the number 8.
1881 was last year Comiskey played baseball in Dubuque and the same year Joe Quinn was asked to join the Rabbits!

Comiskey was born in 1859. In 1881 he would have been 22 years old. If anybody in that picture is over 18 years old, I'll eat my hat.

Do you know the identities of any of the other players in the photo?

Comiskey was shown a photo which he didn't even own a copy, pointing out Reis and Alveretta the acrobat. I believe Comiskey was referring to my photo and not the North Western Composite photo, If it matters Reis and Alveretta are in my photo

I might add the photo being from a St Louis Antique dealer I believe was originally owned by Joe Quinn, I am in the process of locating his decedents to share as I did with the Comiskey family

Correct--Comiskey would be 22 and Quinn 19 --
