I think this photo was taken between May 13-16, 1910 at South End Grounds III in Boston home of the Boston Doves. The Cubs played a 4 game series and wouldn't return until July.Originally Posted by BSmile
Not too many good close up photos of the signs at South End Grounds III.

Sounds quite plausible...

Much thanks to BSmile for finding and posting this wonderful panoramic, which I think is one of the finest from the DeadBall Era that we have in the collection. And thanks to Dto7 for his help with the identifications and in determining the year of the photo.
It does appear to be the 1910 pennant-winning team.

So I found some more evidence that points to 1910. In the famous panoramic poster, "A Yard Of The National Game", the Cubs teams of 1906-07-08 are celebrated (along with the ballpark) and there's an edited version of that same 1910 Cubs panoramic on the bottom. The poster is clearly marked: "COPYRIGHT 1910 E.T. JOHNSON & CO." Further over it reads: "ISSUED BY E.T. JOHNSON & CO., PUBLISHERS OFFICIAL SCORE CARD CHICAGO LEAGUE BALL CLUB, 1456 WEST HARRISON STREET, CHICAGO."
My guess is that the poster was issued in 1910 to celebrate not only the '06-07-08 teams, but the new league champs of 1910 as well (albeit prior to the 1910 World Series). For many years now, that poster has been attributed to what I now feel is the wrong year, 1908.

BTW, the right side of that poster shows the team lined up wearing suits, holding their hats. The top right corner of the image looks like it says "FILE PHOTO CO BOSTON". It's very hard to read because of the poor resolution.

Why isn't the 1910 Cubs shown in full size? My heart jumped when I thought we might be down-sized again.
Registered User
The original post is...but when I re-posted it I used the "insert image" code from BBF, which still downsizes the images for some reason.

It really is. It goes to show how much scope and grandeur we missed for almost a year having our amazing collection down-sized. The glory and the Majesty is back in the house. Glory Be and Hallelujah!

Indeed!
Finding a great picture is one thing...editing it and presenting it here is another.

Fresh off my editing table, here's an all-new & very large version of the '24 Giants. John McGraw is absent (looks like Hughie Jennings was on managing duty that day). However, notorious owner Charles Stoneham showed up for the picture. I wouldn't be surprised if a version of him made an appearance in the upcoming 3rd season of Boardwalk Empire on HBO. Cheers! ~B

1935 Bismarck Churchills Team
Bismarck Churchills History
Here's a really clean edit I just finished of the great '35 Churchills, a team that Satchel Paige considered one of the best he ever played for.
From Wiki: "The Bismarck Churchills were an integrated semi-professional baseball team based in Bismarck, North Dakota in the 1930s. Led by Satchel Paige, Moose Johnson, and Double Duty Radcliffe, the club won the 1935 national semi-pro baseball tournament in Wichita, Kansas. The Churchills played independently of any league because their mixed race roster was a problem in a period of segregation, and because there were no formal leagues at the semi-professional level in North Dakota in the 1930s. The team was owned by Neil Churchill, a local car dealer who owned the city's Chrysler dealership, and regularly played against Valley City, Jamestown, and other teams across North Dakota and Manitoba. Although the club is recalled as the "Churchills" today, the team was not formally named in the 1930s, as North Dakota newspapers such as the Bismarck Tribune simply referred to the club as the "Bismarcks" in 1935. The team was also referred to as the "Giants" (written on old team photo)."
1935 Bismark Churchhills;
Top Row, L-R: Hilton Smith (P), Red Haley, Barney Morris (P), Satchel Paige (P), Moose Johnson, Quincy Trouppe (C), Double-Duty Radcliffe (P/C).
Bottom Row, L-R: Desiderato, Leary, Neil Churchill (owner/Mgr.), Oberholzer, Hendee.

Ray L. Doan's All Star Faculty Baseball School
Hot Springs, Arkansas, Feb 15th to Mch 15th, 1933
There's a few instructors in the front row who might know a thing or two about playing the game...like Rogers Hornsby, Grover Cleveland "Old Pete" Alexander & George Sisler. Interesting how the photographer used "Mch" as an abbreviation for March, I've never seen that before.

Neat picture...I'm pretty sure the "Mann" is Les Mann, who was a teammate of Hornsby in St. Louis, among many other teams he was on, including the 1918 pennant-winning Cubs. Not sure who the "Ryan" is. Looking at his socks, he apears to have on the same uniform as Hornsby, but I don't see any Ryans on the St. Louis rosters from that era. Could possiby be Rosy Ryan, who ended his career with Brooklyn in 1933, but not sure.

1923-24 Leopardos de Santa Clara Team
Leopardos Season 1923-24
Here's a great pic that I recently found at auction and did some editing on. So much talent on this team, click on the link above to read all about it.
"For 1923/24, the Leopardos loaded up with American Negro league talent. Linares and Molina brought back pitchers Holland, Brown, and Pedroso and added Americans Rube Currie and Merven Ryan, as well as Cuban legend José Méndez, and Pedro Dibut, who had just been signed by the Cincinnati Reds. In the infield, first basemen Oscar Johnson and Eddie Douglass and shortstop Dobie Moore joined the returning second baseman, Warfield, and third baseman, Marcelle. The regular outfielders, Charleston, Oms, and Mesa, were the same as in the previous season, and Esteban Montalvo was the backup outfielder."

1906 Pittsburgh Pirates Team Portrait
1906 Pirates Team Stats
Here's a brand-new, very large edit of the '06 Pirates team. I spent quite a bit of time tweaking it, so I hope you guys enjoy it! It is currently residing as my desktop background (I have a 23" widescreen monitor). I have to wonder though: Is it the 1906 Pirates or not? My sources lead me to say it is, but I know how tricky it can be to correctly date these old Pirates team photos. So, do you like this latest addition...and is it really the '06 team? Cheers! ~B

IF you look at their socks, they only wore the 3 stripe socks 2 years 1902 and 1903 according to the uniform database . Hope that helps. Checking more on the socks it looks they wore them in Photos from 1901-1904. But I don't see them after that in photos.

That certainly helps! Looking at the HOF-Dressed To the Nines site, it looks like the 1902-03 team wore striped shirts under their jerseys. I'll have to dig for a photo of that!

Here's the 1906 Pirates photo with names, if some one wants to check names with BSmile's great looking Pirate Photo.
