This team photo was recently sold at Christie's Auctions and from its description claims it's of the 1908 Boston Doves. There are no IDs given, so if anyone here wants to take a stab at it please do!

King only played for New York for 1892 and the very beginning of 1893, so here's a fairly good image of him in that uniform.

[cinemaodyssey]

Boyle only played for the Giants in 1892 and hit a sparkling .183 as their starting catcher.

Pictured with the 1917 Cincinnati Reds.

After being out of the majors for 5 years, Shean came back to be the starting second baseman for the 1917 Reds.

Pictured in his final season with the Reds in 1917.

Pictured with the 1908 Philadelphia Phillies.

16 year old Hess played in 1 game for the 1892 Orioles.

I love it when things like this pop up in the TV e-Bay offerings, as this just did. After pitching all of 1977 at the Tigers' AAA affiliate in Evansville, the journeyman Harrison was given a card in the 1978 set, anticipating he'd come up to the Tigers. He was, inopportunely for Topps, released during Spring Training, was signed and released by the Pirates and finally signed with Minnesota, where he was sent to the minors before being called up and seeing his last major league action later in the year with the Twins.

Anyway Topps must have shot him in camp in 1977 with St. Louis, as this full image from his 1978 paint job shows.

It is not the 1905 team; the uniforms are later than that. I believe the photo is from 1908 or 1909. I am currently away from home without access to my images of the team; I'll try to remember to check on this after I'm back home next week.

You're correct, it looks like the typically reputable Christie's has been let down by their research department. This photograph has been sold before on Hunt's auction site and was referenced as the 1908 Boston Doves at spring training.

Hey Dewey, while I realize that you have a pic of Mike Dimmel for your "project, I wasn't sure if you felt this was a upgrade since it came from the Vault. This happens to me all the time in my project except I then have a physical card that gets replaced.

Listing has KJ756 as Ernie Whitt. It's not him. It's David West.

Yeah, I know, now there's a glut. Turns out there were at least four images in the collection.

Do we think this is in Pittsburgh? In which case it was taken on July 4, 1977. Other possibility is Philly - but I'd bet it's Three Rivers.

A different Cardinals' pitcher from just 70 years before Underwood.

Clean Sweep Auctions is selling two of the startling, almost disturbing, Bregstone postcards that chronicled the Cardinals and the Browns of the 1908-1911 era.

To me this is one of the great baseball photos of all time, complete with the Sportsman's Park grounds crew in the back looking like Victorian chimneysweeps.

Ulysses Simpson Grant McGlynn might have been the greatest dud rookie pitching prospect ever. In the minors and in a brief stint with the Cardinals, he won 43 games in 1906. The next year, his lone full season in the majors, he led the N.L. in starts (39), innings pitched (352), hits allowed (329), walks (112, earned runs (114) - and losses (25).

On the other hand, look at this photo!

[Merkle923]

And Clean Sweep's other Bregstone - of Hall of Famer Rube Waddell, and another nomination for one of the game's great images.

Over Waddell's right shoulder, that would be a 1908 version of the "Hit Sign Win Suit" ad from Brooklyn. Amazing.
