A photo of the 1889 Hoosiers was taken by Levytype Co. in Philadelphia, and is given a date of September, 1889, in the book
Athletic Sports in America, England, and Australia, which was published later that year. The only September date that the Indianapolis team was in Philadelphia was September 14th, when they played a doubleheader, and Jack Fee made his major league debut in the second game. Only two other pitchers on the team (Rusie and Boyle) appeared in any other games on that entire road trip. It is likely that Fee is in the photo, and I believe that he may be the player in the middle of the back row.
