|  "AST . . . " ball team postcard. Help w/ ID? 
			
			ast f small.jpg ast b.jpg Digging through a misc. binder I found this postcard I've held for 20+ years. As you can see, the postcard was made by photographing an existing PC. Perhaps someone here has seen the original card. I can read "AST" on the facing of the jerseys. According to the list on baseball-reference.com, there have been no pro teams such as Astoria, etc., so this must be a town team. Any idea from where they hail?

			Is it possible the original was a trimmed photo and not a PC?

			It looks to me that the name down the front of the jerseys is either 6 or 7 letters, beginning with "Ast" and ending with "a". Other than that however, I really don't know. Good luck in your research Bob. Steve Edited to add: I just looked in Googlemaps, and the only Astorias are Astoria, Queens, NY, and Astoria, OR.

			A is the last letter of the Town name " Astabula " possibly ?
