OLD BRIDGE -- This photo taken in 1909 shows members of the Old Bridge Athletic Club in their baseball garb.
One hopes no one was injured during the course of the season, as the team shows only nine players and a manager.
Note the team mascot being held in the lap of the player seated second from right and the thick-handled bats commonly used during the era.
