Ernest and his Team

Ernest and his Team
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "Sports."
This is a companion to another shot of this team, found in my "Illingworth Album".
My husband's grandfather, Ernest Illingworth, is all the way on the left, 2nd row, leaning on his knee with a glove.
Ernest was a top notch baseball player. He got picked for the (under team)[?] of the Red Sox - but I forget what happened. I'll post at some point.
This is probably late 20s/early 30s, Springfield, Vermont. Pretty cool to see some of these characters' faces in the large version.
See previous photo for the actual picture mat.

This is very cool and interesting to note that there are a mix of uniforms worn by various players. "Springfield," "Charleston", "Chester," and "Vermont" . I wonder if the seated fellow on the left of the first row has a small megaphone in his lap (or a tankard of ale maybe). He must be the coach. They ain't kids for certain. Over the barn is a home run.

Thanks for your interesting observations, Rick. That does look like a megaphone!
See the Bert Lahr look-a-like?

Lovely! Interesting to read Rick's note, too--I would have missed all those details myself!

Thanks, Alan, I agree. That's why it's great to share these, isn't it?
It's always cool to get a new perspective on a photo you think you've completely examined and absorbed..
