As promised, a few more things out of the 19th Century Album.

This is one of the famous "Mort Rogers" scorecards produced for sale at Boston Red Stockings games in 1871. Very few have survived, which is more than just a shame, because it's evident nearly all that have depict players from the home team - but Rogers produced at least some scorecards with players from visiting teams.

E.B. "Gene" Kimball, second baseman of the Forest Citys of Cleveland, would seemingly be an odd choice (but also a tantalizing suggestion of just how many different players Rogers might have had photographed in 1871). He hit just .191 with only one extra-base hit in his entire 29-game big league career.

I've shown the whole front of the scorecard and then isolated and cleaned up the image.
