1907-8 Panama Isthmian League
Several years back (maybe as many as 10) a collector on Net54 posted a photo display of the 1907-08 Isthmian League in Panama. I do not recall who it was, nor can I seem to find the original post, but here is the photo of the display I saved:
1908 Panama Canal team Culebra.jpg I have always been interested in obscure baseball teams, players and leagues, and the Isthmian League certainly fits that bill. I took notes and put it aside until I had time to do some research on the league. I wound up focusing on one player, Eddie Sabrie, and just finished a story about him and the Isthmian League on my website. Screen Shot 2020-10-20 at 1.36.22 PM.jpg As the original poster had written, the players on the Culebra (champs of the league) were mostly American minor leaguers from the south. I had a lot of fun following traces of the league in Panamanian newspapers of the day and then finding out all about Eddie Sabrie, Culebra's first baseman and a career minor leaguer. For a guy who never made it to the majors, Sabrie had a pretty interesting career.
