Not my thread or photo, but I thought I would post it here to see what folks thought.

My guess is it is him.

My guess is it is not him. The bridge of the nose looks to thick, with no slope like Joe's nose and to be honest it looks more like Tommy Lee Jones when he played Ty Cobb in the movie, Cobb. ;)

IMO, it's not even really a very close match, and the blurriness of the photo is really bad--even if it were him it would be tough to confirm with that type of photo quality.

no. Eyes and nose don't seem to match IMO.

Not him for all of the reasons heretofore expressed by those giving an opionion (except for Barry who must have been looking without his glasses on)

Identical... Except for the ears and lack of an occiput.
Simple for me...
from the description, the photo says "1920" on the back.......then no way.
JJackson played 146 games for the Chicago White Sox in 1920.
it would be different if it said "1920's"
