Photo player Identification help
4 Attachment(s)
Hi Guys,
I recently picked up a couple of photos and I'm not sure who is the player in each of them. The first one is dated May 11th 1912. I am thinking it could be Cy Morgan or Chief Bender. Attachment 102493 Attachment 102492 The 2nd on is dated Oct 9th 1934. Which would be the last game of the WS (Detroit and STL). Attachment 102494 Attachment 102495 Any help or comments would be appreciated. Thanks, Ryan |
Will take another look when I get back to my computer and a bigger screen, but in the meantime keep in mind that the file date, which is the date stamped on the back, is generally a few days after the photo was actually shot. It took a while for the photo to make the rounds before being filed away in the morgue.
With that in mind, is there a reason you doubt whoever wrote Mel Ott on the back of the second photo? |
First photo is at Hilltop Park in New York..most likely taken between April 23-25 1912 when the A's played at New York.

This is the closest I can come to a shot of Ott from that angle (this one circa 1938), but I don't see any reason to doubt the ID on the back of the photo. I'm assuming you had eliminated him as a possibility based on the date?

Sounds weird, but can anyone else see the "face" figure in the dirt, behind Derrick, under his shadow in Ryan's image? Look directly above what looks like a scribble on Ryan's image or directly above the space between Park, NY (baseb... in the bottom area on the same photo that I posted.
I'd circle it, but not sure how to do that. Anyone see it? If not, I then need a rest. LOL! |

Here's the face

I would do the ear check to confirm, except that I'm awful at it and wouldn't want to mislead. Perhaps if you were to post a larger cropping of just his head though someone else can confirm. |

No joking, if paranormal investigators saw that they would certainly list it as evidence. |
Yes!
Whew! Good. Glad it isn't just me who can "see" the face. :D

I see two faces, the on with the cap on, and one directly above the beginning of the scribble, looks like grasping for air.
:eek: |
