N172s deserve a "shout out". In 1888, Goodwin & Company would cover the entire Western Association including the likes of the Chicago Maroons, Milwaukee Brewers, and the Des Moines Prohibitionists. The following year would see three of the four California League teams. There were also a myriad of team change cards to cover player movements into many other minor league circuits including the Atlantic and International Associations. My pic covers the 1889 Detroit Wolverines (International Association) w/ the Kid Baldwin being an error card.

Des Moines Prohibitionists???

I think I see a topic for a future thread.

I'll see your Des Moines Prohibitionists and raise the 1923 Roslyn Yippers.



The town built Runje Field (pictured) in 1923. The grandstand held 2,500 in a town of 2,000. A very popular rural nine, they beat the Ellensburg Hawks, led by future Red Sox/Yankees outfielder Roy Johnson, for the 1924 Yakima-Kittitas League Championship. Jim Yourglich, manager/owner pictured far right, was a notorious bootlegger and owned "The Brick" tavern.... many Northern Exposure fans would recognize the bar. These are the stories I love about minor league ball.
