This is an old photo I found in an old book and it has a baseball team from the year 1904. Looks like some old players with names on bottom. Any information about this picture would help me find out who they are and maybe where they are from. Nice vintage minor league uniforms.
Are there any markings on the back of it that might be a clue as to the location?
No markings . . .
I believe this is the Crescent Athletic Association baseball team from 1904. The crescent moon shape on the front represents the Crescent organization and AA is for athletic association.
I am not sure what part of the country they are from. Most teams that were called athletic associations from this era where located east of the Mississippi.
It is interesting that the older gentleman in the lower right front has his crescent moon turned to look like the letter C, while the others have their crescents turned around the other way. Maybe he was the captain of the squad?
Book was found in Troy, New York. Still trying to dig up info for this photo . . . thanks for any and all your ides, I appreciate all.
