Interestingly, the Minneapolis team cabinet that came with this lot was the 1887 Minneapolis team from the Northwest League. The team was part owned by Elmer's brother, Robert, and Elmer recruited the players for the team (all detailed in the accompanying scrapbook). I wonder if they originally thought of using the Flour City jerseys, but later decided to use the Minneapolis jerseys shown in the team cabinet.

Dave--Is that you? What a fantastic cabinet-thanks so much for posting it. That solves my problem! If you ever need info from the scrapbook, including Elmer's own account of his baseball history, just let me know.

Best--Jay

I noticed that, but he was also missed any stats for 1892-1894 and I'm sure they still at least had a local club at the time, possibly semi-pro or Independent.

I see you got the answer from that great cabinet posted. Very cool
