Photo Located John Sterling 1890 Philadelphia Athletics
After much deliberation with my colleagues on the SABR Biographical Research Committee, we've confirmed that John Sterling, a Philadelphia minor leaguer was in fact the man who appeared for the Athletics on October 12, 1890. It was long suspected that he was the guy, but there was still some debate.
Anyway, John Sterling appears on five Old Judge cards during his brief stint with Minneapolis in spring 1888. He was released before appearing in a game. I was able to find images of three of his cards.
