3 pre 1878 team images
1871 Central Base Ball Club, Plainfield NJ, players are identified
Circa 1878 Chicago area team by renowned photographer Carlos Gentile
1878 Washington and Lee team. Apparently, Sykes, their pitcher, used the curve ball for the first time in a college game in the South. UVA felt cheated.
Sykes learned the curve from Bobby Mathews.
Help appreciated on information.
