"AST . . . " ball team postcard. Help w/ ID?
ast f small.jpg
ast b.jpg Digging through a misc. binder I found this postcard I've held for 20+ years. As you can see, the postcard was made by photographing an existing PC. Perhaps someone here has seen the original card. I can read "AST" on the facing of the jerseys. According to the list on baseball-reference.com, there have been no pro teams such as Astoria, etc., so this must be a town team. Any idea from where they hail?

It looks to me that the name down the front of the jerseys is either 6 or 7 letters, beginning with "Ast" and ending with "a".
Other than that however, I really don't know. Good luck in your research Bob. Steve Edited to add: I just looked in Googlemaps, and the only Astorias are Astoria, Queens, NY, and Astoria, OR.

I respectfully disagree. The configuration of players in the photo strongly suggests a conga line, originating in Cuba. The conga line didn't make it to the states until until the 1930s. So I am going to have to go with Artemisa, Cuba. A little known fact of Cuban writing in the first part of the twentieth century is that the "r" and the "s" were interchangeable, particularly after the bars closed.
