I would greatly appreciate anyone who can identify the Boston Red Sox player shown in this photo taken by Charles M. Conlon in the early 1910s at the Polo Grounds. I'm stumped! Thanks.

Thanks, Mark. I considered O’Brien, but in every 1912 World Series photo, he looks older to me than the player in my photo. Maybe Conlon was just that good!

I could of course be wrong. Here's a picture of Joe Wood and Buck in early 1912. By the end of the year they would be involved in a fist fight, but here they look like buddies about to win 54 games between them.
