Akron Champs Minor League Baseball Team Youngstown 1911 Real Photo Postcard

This postcard captures an early 20th-century baseball team, likely dating from the 1900s to the 1920s, a period when baseball was rapidly cementing its status as America's national pastime. The players' uniforms, featuring the letter A on their shirts, represent a common practice of the era, signifying a local town, club, or company team rather than a major league professional squad. The style of the uniforms, including the loose-fitting jerseys, high socks, and simple caps, is characteristic of the sport's attire during this formative period.
