But the player is definitely not him and his record is now listed as just D. Smith, a Brooklyn semi-pro - https://www.baseball-reference.com/p...mithto01.shtml
2. George Patterson - 1884 Philadelphia Keystones - the Keystones player was a Philadelphia semi-pro, while the photo we have is of George "Lucky" Patterson, an Erie, PA player pictured in the 1889 Erie team photo. They are not the same person, as the Erie guy never played outside of his home town. |
Fred Crane (1873) is also a missing player apparently. SABR did some research and found that the Fred Crane who played for the Brooklyn Atlantics in the 1860s is in fact not the same player who played in the NA from 1873-75.
