Between 1903 and 1952, there was no franchise movement among the 8 National League and 8 American League baseall clubs. This map shows all 16 clubs, with emblems, cap crests and uniform details from that time period. Included is an inset map of the Greater New York City area. In it, the locations of Yankee Stadium (NY Yankees), the Polo Grounds (NY Giants), and Ebbets Field (Brooklyn Dodgers) are marked. The evolution of these three clubs’ crests and colors is also shown here. This map was drawn in 1993, and would not have been possible without the incredible book “Baseball Uniforms of the 20th Century.” This book was researched, written, and illustrated by Marc Okkonen. His artwork for this book can now be found as the entire database for the Baseball Hall of Fame site “Dressed to the Nines.”
