1891 Green Bay Team Photo
Here's the 1891 Green Bay Team Photo. The photo was published in an unidentified newspaper in February, 2000, although some of the names were incorrect. The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported on August 4, 1891, that the owner of the Green Bay club purchased the entire Terre Haute club to transfer the players to Green Bay, releasing the entire old club (except Ernie Beam). The players coming from Terre Haute were manager George Brackett, Terrien, Stephens, Flood, Breitenstein, Kapple, Wright, Pabst, Hemp and McMillan. Those players, plus Beam (and minus Breitenstein, who signed with St. Louis instead) are the ones depicted in the team photo.
The latest matches are shown below.
Added 9/26/2021: Based on the caption of the photo as published in 2000, the players are
Back row: Joe Kappel, Ed Pabst, Thomas Flood, Pat Wright
Middle row: Ed Fusselbeck, Edmund Terrien, George Brackett, George McMillan, Ernie Beam
Front row: Frank Spill, Ben Stephens, Ducky Hemp
