It is too bad that Seymour Studley didn't have a card made. That name plus an OJ card would be a recipe for collectability.

Awesome team cabinets guys. What a interesting thought. One that never popped up in my own head which is a bit surprising. Thank you for the list. I am looking forward to passing it off to my dad to figure out who served on which side. He lives for civil war history/research. I am hoping for one of them to be a local connection. Could be another Richmond player to get a image of

Jason — the SABR document I provided a link to gives the details of where each of these guys served, to the extent that it’s known.

So far we have 7 of the 30 named on a 19th Century "card" etc

Here is a CdV of William Craver with the Troy Haymakers

If you find a confederate who went on to play organized baseball, then you’ve really got a rarity.

Did "haymakers" mean the same thing back then as it does now? If so, that's an awesome team name.
