Calling All Brooklyn Dodgers Collectors!--Show Your Brooklyn stuff

Not a Dodger Collector but I have a few Brooklyn items

First is a photo of the Bridgrooms, (1891) With John Ward sitting on the Left.

Second is a 1915 Brooklyn Fedetal League Scorecard.

That's a rare and neat Scorecard of the Brooklyn Federales [I have personally nicknamed them with the Spanish spelling and pronunciation],
and I can say the same for the 1891 Bridegrooms team shot; thanks bigfanNY.

And you're right Doug Goodman; it is a beautiful scorecard.
I was a little tough on my brother; I couldn't have scored properly at 13 either.
I'll tell him what you said.

Yoda, I'm glad you brought up Pete Reiser's name.
Leo Durocher said that the only player he'd compare to Pete in terms of talent was Willie Mays, and that Pete had more power.
I don't really know any stories about him, only that he was a fan favorite, had remarkable rookie and sophomore seasons, lost years to WWII,
and was never the same when he came back, due to all the head and shoulder injuries he sustained from crashing into walls.
Even so, he never lost his speed and stole home seven times one year.

I've posted a few shots of him and several of his teammates from a 1941 [?I think] team Photo Pack. It's worth noting that Dixie Walker, "the People's Cherce [Choice]" was also a fan favorite. But if I remember correctly, he was one of those players who was against playing with Jackie Robinson, and so he was summarily traded.
