I am fairly certain that this photo was taken ca. 1915 at Majestic Field in Hot Springs, Arkansas. This was the spring training site of the Boston Red Sox, though other teams trained in the area as well and sometimes used Majestic Field. The catchers on the Red Sox in 1915 were Hick Cady, Pinch Thomas and Bill Carrigan.
Thoughts?

You can rule out Carrigan.

Thanks. It did not look like Carrigan to me either. I am thinking that it may be Hick Cady? Any other thoughts out there?

Could be 1918...throwing in Wally Schang

Kevin, are there any markings on the back? Why do you say it is 1915? Could it be Larry Pratt?
