Great image with period equipment. Player on far left middle row has "Chicago" across chest while player center front has "K.C." on chest. Any explanation as to why 2 different teams would be photographed together? Perhaps an "All-Star like" team??

Likely a town team with hand-me-down jerseys. Many times they would play in whatever baseball gear they could get their hands on.

That makes sense as the other players dont necessarily match either.

Here is another bit of silliness for my 1971 Pirate collection. I don't know if its the Cancun sun, too many Cuba Libres, or their combined 4,437 career hits and 422 HRs but I saw this MLB début stub of Richie Hebner and Al Oliver on eBay and had to have it.
