Luscious.






Rube Marquard and Chief Meyers in Brooklyn plaid.






John McGraw and Chicago's Frank Chance.

Notice the semi seersucker look of McGraw's uniform. The NYG also wore some plaid.

Lot's of teams wore very dark road uniforms, as Chance in this photo.

Fort Worth native(!) and greatest second baseman of all time: Rogers Hornsby.

Hornsby played

~12 seasons w/St. Louis Cardinals,

~1 season w/NYG,

~1 season w/Boston Braves,

~4 seasons with Chicago Cubs(1929-1932),

~5 seasons with St. Louis Browns.

Ted Williams said Hornsby was history's greatest combination of hitting for both power and batting average (lifetime average .358).

Update:

Classic Rogers Hornsby photo.
