SABR has informed me that the player shown as Andrew M. Thompson in the 1888 St. Paul Daily Globe is 1884 manager A.M. Thompson, not the Major League player who debuted in 1875. The player previously identified as Andrew M. Thompson (1875) is actually a player with an unknown first name who played for a Bridgeport, CT team before making his Major League debut. I will remove the Andrew Thompson image from the forthcoming facepack release, and move it to the managers pack which I hope to release very soon.
