I recently picked up this c1915 Red Sox photo. Obviously, it is Ruth on the far left. However, who are the other 3 players in the photo? According to the back, Bill Carrigan and Jack Barry are also in the photo, but I'm not sure which ones they are, and who the last player is. Thanks!

Ruth - Carrigan - Barry - looks like Joe Wood on the right. Nice photo!

Doesn't look like Wood to me.

Looks like names are written at the bottom...

Yep, you're right. I completely missed that. However, the player at the far right is not named. It just has SL27-11 under it. Thanks again for the responses!

I identified this photo for Library of Congress - It is L. to R. Ruth - Carrigan - Barry and Gregg. The names at the bottom are wrong. That happens often.

Well, there you go. Can't argue with the man.

Looks like someone recently trimmed off the impurities so that it would look nicer.

Great photo.
