The team soon became known as the Dodgers (as well as the Superbas and later the Robins), and is the same franchise that Carl Erskine played for.

The Boston Reds won the Players League in 1890 and the American Association in 1891.

As do I. Thank you

I'm an absolute sponge when it comes to baseball history, but if there's one area I could really use more education, it's Baseball history from the 19th century.

Netflix is losing its PBS programming at the end of the month, so I'm planning on watching Ken Burns' Baseball at least once more all the way through, if not twice. Then I'll just buy the DVD set.

John, that Legendary copy may be the nicest Corcoran N172 existent. It is an absolutely beautiful Fb! Congrats on a nice pickup, albeit not cheap.

Definitely the nicest one I've ever seen. I have higher grade ones, but none with a picture like that. The fact that it's a tough London card makes it that much more special
