Default Help Dating 19th century baseball photo

Posted By: Keith

You guys nailed it! An Indiana University curator just got back to me and confirmed that it is an Indiana U photo, and dated it to 1893 for me. It turns out one of the non-uniformed guys in the back row is Charles Jacob Sembower, who was a shortstop in the early 1890's, then a long term faculty member, and who IU's current baseball field is named after.
