Carlton, you'll be able to find more about both teams, "soon", on the research page of my web-site. I've been very frustrated with how slow it takes to get articles published, and will be creating a venue for other baseball historians to web-publish their articles. It will be professional, etc., and I already have 4-5 articles ready to go up.

I'll start a thread when it's ready to accommodate articles by you all.

I'll be bookmarking that site. LOVE IT

[Runscott]

Thanks Scott. The three featured 1911 teams were the subject of an article I wrote back about that time, and the stats you see were gathered to support the article. I'll probably expand it to include a few more Chicago and Kansas City teams, and begin working backward toward 1900.

new pick-up. 1914 federal league program

[RUKen]

Good pickup, Matty39--are there any photos of the team or individual players inside? Pictures of the Buffeds from their first year are hard to find.

[matty39]

Sorry, no player photos in the program.

Just an FYI that I started this thread on the other side. It would be cool to ID the two players. I have never seen a Buffalo program before.

Picked up a few RPPC's and a couple of early stadium PC's the past couple of days. The teams I can identify from the PPPC's are: Northwest Missouri Normal College in Marysville, MO; Ft Worth Pirates?; Staplehurst, NE. Others I don't know.

Here are three more. The Marty O'Toole is a Max Stein, I believe. The New York field is pre-Yankee Stadium, but not sure what park? The other, of course is Wrigley Field.

[David Atkatz]

Hilltop Park, 165th Street and Broadway, 1903-1912.

Here's a link to a thread about a Vintage Keio pennant I found. Long gone but thought you may be interested Scott.
