BASEBALL PHOTO IDENTIFIED

Image
Hello, I am trying to sell an old Real Photo Postcard of a Baseball Team. I was told that it was a professional team. Can you help identify it? Your photo appears to be that of the 1920 General Office Baseball Club which was in the Duquesne Steel League. I found a box score that contained 7 of the 9 players in your RPPC. The jerseys have the letters GO on them which correspond with General Office. Industrial leagues were very popular in the years prior to WWII. They were not part of organized professional baseball, but, some serious companies were known to hire good ball players so that they could play for the company team.
