It's been hard for me to keep this a secret for all these months, knowing that the photograph of the 1911 Greenwood, Nebraska baseball team would be on the cover sometime during 2011.
This photo originally appeared on this blog last October. Shortly thereafter, the President of the Nebraska State Genealogical Society, Floyd Smith III, emailed me and asked if the society could use the photo on a future issue, to coincide with baseball season. Of course, I said yes! Thank you, Floyd!

ReplyDeleteThey used the info from the original blog post with the names of everyone in the photo and my note about how you can always recognize Bill in photos because of the way he always cocks his hat.
ReplyDeleteIt's really exciting to see something from you own collection get into print. Congratulations! As an avid baseball fan, I have to say I love the picture.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the photo, Biff. As I was posting this yesterday, I realized that the photo was 100 years old!
