Does anyone have a photo of the 1902 team? I'm looking for a photo of my Great Grandfather, Bill Salisbury. Thanks. Also went by his nickname: Solly

I can't help you with a photo but I can tell you what I found out about him and his team.
Bill Salisbury pitched 6 innings in 2 games in 1902, had no decisions and an ERA of 13.50 in that famed bandbox, Baker Bowl.(which probably was not exactly the same back then because all parks were still wooden.)
The phils finished 7th that year with a record of 51-86. Their most famous player was Hughie Jennings, near the end of his career as a regular. Their best pitcher was Doc White, who later had some good years for the White Sox "hitless wonders", at 16-20.
Baseball Almanac can give you more info on your great -grandfather and that team.

Extremely unlikely that you will find a photo of a player who only appeared in 2 major league games back in 1902. Maybe there's someone who has a photo of the 1902 team, but even then it probably wouldn't list by name all the players in it.
