Title

The 1907 Oskaloosa Baseball Team; Class D Iowa League

Description

Pictured here is the 1907 Oskaloosa baseball team from Oskaloosa, Iowa. Based on the excerpt under the photograph of the players, the team was facing a serious financial crisis in 1907, looking at a team debt of $2,800.00. In order to raise funds so that the team could continue playing in the league, a ten day carnival was held to raise money for the team, which turned out to be a great success and allowed the team to participate in the 1907 season. On a separate note, Mattick (middle row, second from right) had a son named Bobby that ended up playing shortstop for the Chicago Cubs in 1938. The other players in the photograph are identified in the excerpt below the picture of the players.
