Old Baseball Team, circa 1900 (probably Ontario)

Photographs of an unidentified baseball team, circa 1900, found in an Ontario antique shop — with the contributor's 1911-census research notes.

4 photographs.

This is an old photo of a baseball team that I found in an antique shop. I know the photo is not too good but I thought it might be of interest to some. The names are hard to read but it was dark in the shop that the photo was in.

I do not know where this picture was taken but as I found it in Ontario I have made the assumption that it is an Ontario Baseball team. I went and had a look in the 1911 census to see what I could find. It was hard as I do not know the first names of the men in the Photo but I did find some interesting hits in Toronto. However it would take a lot more work to figure it out.
