Bill Cristall 1901
This is cropped from a group photo of the Oakland Clamdiggers in the April 6, 1902, edition of the Los Angeles Herald. Cristall had joined Oakland of the California League for the 1902 season, after pitching for the Cleveland Blues of the American League in September, 1901 (his only stint in the major leagues). During spring training, when the group photo was taken, Cristall wore his uniform from the previous season, as most players did at that time. This gives us a rare look at the Cleveland uniform from their first major league season.
