Wonder If There Are Pictures From This Game
On October 16, 1898 the Louisville Colonels played a benefit game in which their players dressed up in outfits that were described as weird and wonderful by The Pittsburgh Press. Of note was this blurb:
"Hans Wagner will display his charms in a ballet girl costume and will piroutte(sic) around third base with the grace for which he is noted."
Not sure I want to see the pic if his charms are on display. Anyway, why not post some manly Honus Wagner pictures as good luck charms for the Pirates tonight!

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
