Deadball Era New Jersey minor league teams

[RUKen]

Prior to the exodus of the 1960's, '70's, and early '80's (which temporarily left the state with no professional teams), a number of minor league teams made their home in the Garden State. I am posting here photos of the teams and a few individual players from the Deadball Era (pre-1920).
