Checked to see if I could find the names of the baseball players in the St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Parish's photo from 1909 posted earlier but no luck. I did find this photo with the names on the back from around the same time. Disregard the date of 1916-18 given the birthdates we have for these boys, the photo is more likely to have been from around 1905. I used AI to make the originals clearer but did not alter anything else.
