1892 Columbus BBC Cabinet Card with Hank O'Day

Dto7 PM'd me this link to a cabinet card that contains Breckenridge's photo but he couldn't enlarge to see which one it is. I will fiddle with it tonight when I get home but thought that I would post Dto7's link now in case any one else wants to try first.

What I plan to do is see if I can identify several names to first see if the names listed in the auction verbiage are in an order. (Assuming of course that it doesn't pixilate badly on me when I try to enlarge it)

You're the best Dto7! I tried to find Breckenridge a year or two ago and posted here for help as well - all to no avail. It's just amazing how much material is out there and available.

The players on the cabinet appear that they are not in the order listed by the auction house.

Zooming in as far as I can, the photo on the bottom left has the clearest words hand written on the cabinet "First Base". That is Breckenridge's position. I cannot Make out the name but I can convince myself that it starts with a 'B' and is of proper length to be "Breckenridge". Also, he apears to be one of the younger players in this cabinet and should have been in his early twenties at the time (1892).

Can anyone else see a better option as being Mr Breckenridge?

CONN CHRIS · 12-10-2012, 10:27 PM

Until someone with better eyes and skills than I have comes along, this is Ed Breckenridge to me.

Thanks again Dto7!

That is fantastic and even more clearly looks like "Beckenridge"

I'm sold!

1911 Twin States League

Edward Breckenridge mangaged the 1911 Brattleboro Islanders in the Twin State League which only played one year.

No stats or players names for the league, but this photo of the 1911 Brattleboro team with names. Breckenridge isn't in the photo.

This is from the Tecumseh Team Photo when he went 16-12 in 1907

Spritze · 12-31-2012, 01:18 PM

Played 2 semi-full years and was on 7 teams those years as a infielder. Hit his weight at least (.183). Was a 3rd baseman mostly.

One of those minor league 1bmen who stole a ton of bases
