1909 Baseball Team

This is a 1909 postcard that my Grandfather (W.J. "Will" McGill) sent to my Grandmother while he was playing baseball in Oklahoma during 1909. He was also courtin' my Grandmother (Constance Estella Warwick), and going around the country ordering & shipping furniture for/to the McGill Bros. Furniture Store in Alva, Oklahoma (Woods County).

Will McGill is the tall, good-looking, lanky fellow on the back row -- third from the left. He was a pitcher for the Austin Senators in 1906 and known for his fast, curve balls. If anyone knows about this Big "G" (?Guthrie?) baseball team, please don't be shy! EMAIL Linda (aka Oakie).

You can read more about his "Baseball Legacy" on my "Grandpa's Legacy" pages.
