1888 Omaha Omahogs

tachyonbb · #1 09-20-2011, 07:42 PM

oldjudge, thanks for the correction, you are right it should be the Western Association in 1889.

When I started this section of the website my primary source was the Omaha Bee and the book "Through the Years With the Western League" 1951 Publisher: Western League, edited by Bill Bryson of the Des Moines Register. They listed the teams as being in the Western League in 1889.

I later realized that this should be the Western Association but never thought about the website listing. I will correct the page. If you find any other mistakes let me know. I have edited a number of books and having a lot of eyes on the pages reduces the errors.

Thanks again.

I have never found a picture of the 1888 team. Of course I have only been on the hunt for a little over a decade.

Jay - Burns, Burdick, Cooney, Lovett, O'Connell and Shannon are in the Oshkosh team photo in your book.

Not a team card or a non-Old Judge - but it's all I've got.

Thanks guys. I'm surprised how difficult this is to find. I have tried the Omaha Historical Society, some museums in Omaha, and the Hall of Fame, and no luck anywhere. Oh well.

I also called a very good, very private friend of mine in Omaha to see if he could help. But he also has never owned or seen a team issue from the year you have asked for. Good Luck

Did you try the Durham Western Heritage Museum? They once had a baseball display up a few years back.
