Item Description
6-5/8x9.5" blank backed supplement showing 16 member team in full uniforms on stadium field. Printed on bottom margin has their last names. Includes three Hall of Fame members: Cy Young, George Davis, & Jesse Burkett. One vertical and one horizontal fold through center with tiny bit of wear along fold lines but still displays nicely as encapsulated and designated "Authentic." The Cleveland Spiders were a Major League baseball team which played between 1887 and 1899 in Cleveland, Ohio. The Spiders first fielded a team in the American Association (then a Major League) in 1887. At the time, they were known as the Cleveland Forest Citys or Cleveland Blues. In 1889, they moved to the National League and became known as the Spiders. They started to improve in 1891, largely due to the signing of pitcher Cy Young who's baseball career started with this team in 1890. Early and historic.
