I was doing some research for an upcoming Saginaw post and I came across this photo of an old Saginaw baseball team. The photo was taken in 1908 and if you have read my Saginaw baseball history post HERE the team in 1908 was the Saginaw Wa-was.  I am not sure what Wa-was is supposed to mean so I looked it up on google. I found there was a rowing team called the Saginaw Wa-was which came from an old Native American phrase which means “lightning on the water”.

P.S. I like how the guys in the crowd are mostly wearing bowler hats and nowadays most of the crowd wears baseball caps.
