This was included in some of my grandmothers pictures that were given to me after her death several years back. It is a post card, but other than that I know nothing about the individual on the card. I would love to have any information about its origin

Great tinting to the image.
It appears to date from about 1910- 1920. The stamp box can be helpful to the date the image-- if you can add an image of it.

I just posted the backside of the post card.....any help identifying would be greatly appreciated
You may want to "edit" this listing and add the photo to this listing, so others can easily view it.
The back of your RPPC shows an AZO stamp box-- so I would think that the era that I posted is accurate.

I believe this fellow was a member of either The Milwaukee Brewers or the Milwaukee Creams from about 1890 to 1898. Unfortunately I can't tell you his Name. I hope this helps.
The AZO stamp box would put in the 20th century.

Musik my husband told me last night they it appeared to be Milwaukee Brewers from the western league or by date Scott gives Milwaukee Creams
Location: Milwaukee, WI
League: Western League 1902-1903; Wisconsin-Illinois League 1913
The Western League of Professional Baseball Clubs, simply called the Western League, was a minor league baseball league originally founded on February 11, 1885, and focused in the Midwest.
After several failures and reorganizations, the most notable version of the league was organized by Ban Johnson on November 20, 1893. In 1900, the league was renamed the American League, and declared major league status in 1901.
