Mutual Interest In Early St. Louis Browns

"I notice you have an interest in the early St Louis Browns baseball team. So do I.

I am wondering what else you have found about that team's era. My Grandfather played one game for the St Louis Browns in the National League - August 12, 1894. (George Washington Paynter (Paner). As you likely know this was the same National League franchise that had an ownership and name change a few years later.

I have a team photo for the 2 years later, 1896 team, but little else beyond roster, won/loss record, etc. I have never seen a logo if they had one in those days. I have read the book "Before they were Cardinals" but that focuses on some years earlier, etc.

Do you have any info to share or can you provide directions as to how to learn. Some years ago I met with the Cardinals Historian in St Louis but I knew more about it than she. Thanks for your help." -- Jerry Paner - Email: jpaner@comcast.net

[Editor's Note: Checkout our grandfather's, Bill McGill Legacy and his 1907 St. Louis Browns Legacy. Did the St. Louis Browns have a logo?]
