Posted By: <b>chris</b><p>Won this photo, but haven't recieved it yet. It was dirt cheap and should be. Thought it might be fun to try and guess the team/player/photo origin etc.<br><br>Any clairvoyants out there?<br><br><img src="http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u349/stealhome/5426_11.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>William</b><p>That looks like it could be Carl Mays in either 1919 or 1921 in a NYY home uniform. I got excited thinking that perhaps it was in a Boston uniform, but the socks and pinstripes don't match up with the years that he was in Boston.<br>

Posted By: <b>William</b><p>The Cubs/Whales always had a logo on their jerseys, so it's not Mordecai. The photo looks like a famous shot of Three Finger so I can see how you would guess it was him.

Posted By: <b>Chris</b><p>Rec'd it today and it is bigger than I thought. 10 by 6. Close inspection reveals a "P" on the hat. (and he has all 5 fingers on the right hand)<img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif">

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>I'm going to go with Claude Hendrix, playing for Pittsburgh in 1913. The uniform is close, and I think I've seen that ear somewhere before, most likely on a Hedrix card. I suppose we need someone to come forward with a more complete photo.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>As anyone that doesn't know who it is will guess, it's either Joe Jackson, Ty Cobb or Honus Wagner. That's what they say on ebay anyway....
