Incredible turn of the century Cuban baseball team photo in uniform. While we can be sure f the fact that this is the Almendares club, we have not been able to pinpoint the year. The pencil notes on the back may or may not be correct but they correspond with the 1904-05 team pretty well, however the uniforms and style of the cabinet look to be earlier than 1904. This could be explained by the fact that the Cuban leagues were generally a few years behind in equipment and uniforms. An incredibly early piece of Cuban baseball history in nice shape that begs for more research!
