Fort Madison Iowa Denmark Baseball Team 1912 Real Photo Postcard

The Denmark baseball team, depicted in this early 20th-century postcard, represents a widespread phenomenon of amateur and semi-professional baseball teams that thrived across North America. Often sponsored by local businesses or civic organizations, these teams, likely from a town named Denmark, were a cornerstone of community identity and entertainment. The uniforms, featuring knee-length knickers, high socks, and relatively simple caps, along with minimal specialized equipment, are characteristic of baseball attire from roughly 1900 to the 1920s.
