Hey Tx,
I have a couple of more interesting teams.
1) Columbus Buckeyes- Played in 1921. They were a team loaded with talent which included, Sol White; Clint "Hawk" Thomas; and John Henry "Pop" Llyod. Even with all of their star power they were a below .500 team. I have included a pic of the jersey used by the Columbus Clippers to honor them for a TBTC game.
2) All-American Black Tourists. Played in the early 1900's and created and managed by Bud Fowler. They were unique because they played in white vests, top hats (opera hats), and swallow tail coats. They traveled in their town railroad car and ever game was preceded by a street parade. I couldnt find a pic, but I know how creative you are so I figured you would really enjoy this one.
