Clipper Flynn 1871
Mort Rogers wasn't the only guy with the scorecard + photo idea.
In Troy, home of the then major league Haymakers of the National Association, Burr Penfield issued a series of scorecards. I'm fortunate enough to have two of them. Here is the full image, and the detail, of Troy first baseman William "Clipper" Flynn, who knocked in 27 runs and hit .338 in his 29-game season. Flynn would also play for the Olympics of Washington in 1872.
