I recently came across two photos for the 1877 Lowell baseball club, which played in the New England League. The first was printed in the Lowell Courier-Citizen on July 1, 1908. Major leaguers include Sam Crane, brothers Art and Frank Whitney, Sam Wright (younger brother of George and Harry Wright), Denny Sullivan, Curry Foley, Lon Knight, and Bill Hawes.

This same composite was printed in the Lowell Sun on October 17, 1936, along with a group shot of the club. Only a few players are identified in the group shot, but there is no reason to think the players are any different.

Interestingly enough the uniforms are different in the two shots.
