Team photo for the 1888 Omaha Omahogs
Here is a team photo for the 1888 Omaha Omahogs, subjects of the Old Judge n172 card set. The players have been identified as follows:
Back row (l-r): Joe Miller, Jim Burns, John Doran, Tug Wilson, Pat O'Connell, Bill Annis
Middle row (l-r): Len Sowders, Bill Burdick, Frank Selee, Dan Shannon, Jim Cooney
Front row (l-r): Joe Walsh, Jocko Flynn, Ed Cassian, Tom Lovett, Jack Messitt
The identification was done through a group consensus. The photo was taken on April 8, 1888, per the Omaha Daily Bee. The Bee provided the list of players in the photo, which allowed Ed Cassian to be identified by process of elimination, as no other photo of him has been found.
