Without seeing Wagner, Clarke or Leach, I fear this is a mis-identified Phillies team.

I must thank GaryL and bmarlowe for their continuing loyalty to the thread. This painstaking patience in the player identifications would be impossible without your contributions.
I apologize for my slowness in getting things caught up. It is impossible to keep up with BSmile as he rampages on with these team photos. And with a resolution of imagery which is stupefying.
I would not have thought it possible to capture the clarity, crispness in the imagery, of photos from the 19th Century. So rare to see images this clean. How BSmile finds them, will be his continuing mystery. Enigma Man! But his talent is the world's (and our) gain.

Thanks Bill, GaryL & bmarlowe for all the hard work tracking down who is who. It's something I'd never have the time or patience to tackle. As far as how crisp these 19th Century images look...well, that IS something I have the time and patience for. Bringing these old photos back to life is my expertise...and I really enjoy it. Yet, even more so, I enjoy sharing them with the BBF community. So next up...another 19th Century beauty!
