1883 or 1884 Terre Haute
I found a blurb from the Terre Haute newspaper of 1883 noting that the photo of the club was on display in the window at Alexander & Brown. It was on May 20, 1883. Given the name Blues on the jersey, that seems to place the photo in May 1883, not 1884.
The players on the club at that time, as best I can tell, were:
Will J Briggs (3b & c) – Bats left – Died before 1909
Dan Hepp (c) – From Louisville, KY; died before 1909
Frank Robinson (1b & 3b)
William (Billy) Nelson (p)
Will Myers (ss)
Al (Cod) Myers (2b)
Anthony (Andy) Gallagher (rf) – Bats left
Tom C Stunkard (lf) – Bats left
Ed (Mit?) McKennan (cf) – Bats left, died Aug 20 1884 at age 27
Major Milner (1b)
