Talk:Southern New England League

I noticed there was a player on the New Haven br team page simply listed as "Dole." I wonder if this could be Lester Dole? I do know he was still playing minor league/amateur ball into the 1880s and it could make sense since he was from around that general area. 𝕮𝖔𝖉𝖞 (talk) 02:10, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Here is the page for reference https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi?id=9e018a6b

It's possible but you would need more evidence to confirm that. Contemporary newspaper coverage of the team is how these things are usually determined. Philippe (talk) 14:36, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Dole isn't exactly an uncommon name. Jeff (talk) 14:41, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

This player's page says they were a center fielder which was also Lester Dole's position. Still need a verification on it but I really think it could be him. Same city, same last name, same position and the guy would have still been active in baseball at the time. 𝕮𝖔𝖉𝖞 (talk) 15:46, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

I agree it's possible that the two are the same person, but all you have for now is circumstancial evidence. Philippe (talk) 18:57, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
