John/z28jdWhile looking at players stats from 1887 i noticed some interesting things that might show approx. time some of the OJ pics were taken:
John Roach,played one game career,May 14th but is pictured in a NY uniform on 5 or so poses.Bill George joined the team on May 11th and also has cards in the set
Emil Geiss,pitched one career game for Chicago on May 18th and is also pictured with Chicago while a pitcher named Shadow Pyle played his last game on May 13th and doesnt have a card
Larry Corcoran pitched his last game May 20th for indianapolis.Lev Shreve joined the team shortly after and his first OJ cards are 1888 with Indianapolis
Alex McKinnon played his last career game June 4th for Pittsburgh while Jocko Fields made his debut on May 31st.Ed Beecher played significant time with Pitt starting at the end of June,1887 but doesnt have a card
A few other players made their debut or their career ended within early May(april 30 for one player)and mid June(Kid Madden,Bill Kreig,Mike Mattimore,Marty Sullivan)
Just found it interesting,and thought i would share it.
