What are your thoughts? Vintage sepia photo on thick cardboard mount - measures roughly 4" x 5".

I'm not sure, but I'm willing to bet there's a bunch of naked picnic tables.

Those uniforms are even worse than the ugly Brooklyn Dodger uniform worn around 1916.

There are nine guys and the Captain (Guy wearing white) appears to be holding a baseball. I'd guess this is circa 1890. I would vote those uniforms "Worst ever".

No way, Dan. Those uniforms are ugly, but I have a picture of the Mack Daddy of ugly baseball uniforms.

Unfortunately I was the underbidder on this insane piece of work. Evidently someone else thought this was as hysterical as I did, and was willing to bid even higher than the ridiculous sum I bid for the pleasure of owning this.

I did, however, save a scan.

Check out the insane guy on the left.

Sorry about the hijack, but it was worth it.

ROTFLMAO !!!

Funniest comeback in awhile Patrick!

And those Jesters certainly seem to be embarassed by the suits of shame they are wearing.

Good stuff !!

WOW!!! Those guys look like they could have been Monty Python members. That photo is awesome.

edited to add: Is that a dog in uniform just to the left of the equipment?

On Jeff's photo at the top, that looks like football goal posts just to the right and behind the guy standing on the right. Looks like a 2x4 across 2 uprights.

I was going to say the same thing.....

I see football goal posts!


of course - it looks like a baseball team - but it is cool that you see evidence of another sport in the background.

Very cool item.


(Patrick - great response. - LOL.
Al - The guy on the left is the worst dressed I have ever seen.... but as far as the team goes - I don't mind those uniforms.... they are better than the picnic table cloths).

In either case, if they try to escape they should be easy to spot!

These two teams should play each other...and let hilarity ensue. Good catch on the goal post looking thing in the background.

I would bet they are cricket players.
