Beckley did play for Topeka in 1910. What do you guys think?

Posted By: <b>Addie_Joss</b><p>That isn't the cabinet I'm thinking of but yea there isn't much of a resemblance. I wish I could remember the name of the cabinet but it gets posted here regularly. I'm gonna try to find it in an old thread.

Posted By: <b>Todd Schultz</b><p>Beckley would have been 43 years old in 1910--the guy in that pic looks about half that to me.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>I would vote NO as well....It's not a Topeka jersey and there are no other teams he played for that would fit the T/S.

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Like Todd said the top photo looks like a kid in his 20's the bottom Beckley cabinet looks like a 40+ year old.
