A very scarce cabinet photo of the purportedly all woman's baseball club for the season of 1890 & 1891. W. S. Franklin managed the team. Along with the manager's imprinted name are the player's as follows: Effie Earl, Deith Mavves, Alice Lee, Rose Mitchell, Angie Parker, May Howard, Annie Grant, Kittie Grant, Nellie Williams. The team is dressed in striped skirts with and hats with neck bows. While the team played as an all female club, it is thought that perhaps two or three of the players were actually men dressed as women. The albumen photo and printing were placed off-center upon the card and as a result, a bit of the printing is missing. A choice piece of early baseball history.
