Mail day (sort of)!
My buddy was on vacation, and found this AWESOME postcard. Knowing I love Maine baseball, he called me, and we made the deal with the guy! I got it yesterday.
I love the colors. I wonder if any of these guys played in the MLB; if anyone knows, I would love it if you shared with me!

Van Zandt, p could be Isaac (Ike) Van Zandt, who played for the Giants (1901), Cubs (1904) and Browns (1905). He pitched during his stint in the New England League (1902-04) and died in Nashua, NH, in Sept. 1908, so easily could have been playing in Portland earlier that year.

Hey Sean, Great Postcard. Curious if you have any images of Bill Jones? He also went by Billy and William. He lived most of his life in Millinocket and after his baseball career owned an insurance company with his brother there. (Jones Brothers Insurance) Jones played parts of 2 seasons with Boston Nationals. (11&12) Let me know if you've ever heard of this player.
Cheers, Marty. Quote:

He was born just over the border in New Brunswick, but lived in Maine most of his life.

Thanks for the information everyone!
And yes, Lynyrd Skynyrd did cross my mind.  Although, I thought SABR indicated that Van Zandt was playing in Albany and North Adams in 1908. But it is suspicious that the name is unusual, and they are both pitchers... I will add the Canadian guy to my bucket list!

Rojas
Happy to add this bat to my collection....All Star bats don't turn up everyday. Bat is unused as Cookie Rojas never made it into the 1973 All Star game but still I consider it a nice collectible.

Great postcard!! The Mohawks are not listed on Baseball Reference, but for your other ME questions, here is their list of Maine minor league teams and, where they have them, their rosters (which denote which players made it to the majors):
