The pitcher and catcher are key players on any baseball team. This circa 1888 photo shows the battery of Beebe and Reilly -- probably W. J. Beebe and Joseph Reilly -- of the Bergen Point Athletic Club. The New Jersey-based club was an Amateur Baseball League powerhouse in the metropolitan New York City area in the late 1880s.
