Darn Mike you cleaned up...you got all that in a yearbook? That first one is Stagg and Jesse Chase Dann...They were the most famous duo in college baseball in the 1889 era...originally Dann was the pitcher...but they switched and Stagg became the pitcher and Dann the catcher....I did a story a few years ago on that photo you can read in the link above....That one of Stagg by himself is stunning...Congratulations that is one heck of a haul!..you don't fool around!
