    Thanks for posting this.

    I wonder if the team had a better season back in 1895 than the Phillies are having in 2014.

    James Pollock and Harry Ruos (I believe) were the founders of the Lenape Bicycle Works that manufactured bikes in what is now the Zen Den Coffee House (the Boys' Brigade Building) in the late 1890's.

    The 3 Ruos Brothers were my Great Grand Fathers brothers!
