Help ID'ing a Louisville cabinet
Posted By: Terry Knouse
Found this while organizing. The obvious is that it is an 1886 Louisville cabinet. Can anyone help identify the different players pictured?? |

For starters, I believe it's Dave Foutz in the lower left-hand corner, Bid McPhee in the lower right-hand corner and Hub Collins on the left side above the crossed bats. |

Wow! That would make this Bid McPhee's earliest "card", would it not? Fantastic find! |

What a cool find. Whenever I clean/organize all I find is things like botulism. |

You can find some info on it by reading The Beer and Whiskey League by David Nemec. The exact same photo is referenced on page 116. It pictures players from Louisville that took a post season tour of California playing the local talent. A lot of the team stars were left behind such as Pete Browning. Hope that helps. |

Looking at a Louisville cabinet from 1885 it looks like Phil Reccius above Hub Collins, Norm Baker above Reccius, Monk Cline below Hart and Dan Sullivan above the crossed bats on the right. |

Is that definitely McPhee? I'm surprised REA didn't call that out in their auction. |

I'm with Jeff until someone is able to prove that is McPhee. |

I don't think it's him. McPhee played his entire career in Cincinnati and this team is made up of Louisville and California League players. |

Here's a pic of McPhee from 1888, looks like the guy in the Louisville cabinet has less hair. |

The guy in the top middle looks strikingly like a young Ty Cobb. |

Paul Cook! That's the ticket! Although he does have a hat on so we can't see how much (or little) hair he has! |
