A Glimpse of Moonlight
The Hall of Fame's collection includes a rare postcard of the 1905 Class B New York State League Scranton (PA) Miners. Nine players, Manager Ashenbach, and his son piled into a 1905 Oldsmobile touring automobile for the team photo. In the back of the car, identified by a number 5 written on his shoulder, sits the 27-year-old Archie “Moonlight” Graham.
Author W.P. Kinsella was right. The Hall of Fame Library does have records for everyone who ever played in the majors ...even those who played in just a single game. And the extensive archives do include information about minor leaguers ... as well as thousands of other people who have touched baseball, in big ways and small.
