editBeside ten player pages now in the category, Marshall Wright lists these members of the 1870 team.
- Brown, 1870 1b
- Ed Shelley, 1870 3b
- Reynolds, 1870 of
- Jim Holdsworth, 1870 3b
That is two regulars and two subs. I give red links to the major leaguers.
The Unions were a championship contender 1867-1868 but did not "go pro" when the NABBP permitted fully professional teams for 1869; consequently the team declined. Passing over the 1869 team and taking the 1868, Shelley and Reynolds were regular players there were three other regulars not yet mentioned.
- John Goldie, 1868 1b
- Al Martin (second baseman), 1868 2b
- George Smith, 1868 of,1b
Six more 1868 Unions (for a team of ten) have pages in the category: Austin, Bellan, Birdsall, Pabor, Wright. --P64 (talk) 01:07, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
