Got this in the mail today. It's a RPPC of the 1906 Worcester Busters of the New England League. Hall Of Famer Jesse Burkett was their manager. I'm having trouble picking out Burkett, my eyesight kind of sucks right now due to cataracts. Any ID help would be much appreciated.

The roster for 1906 (Players who appeared in the Majors in bold):

Jesse Burkett
Hugh Bradley
Alfred Bushey
Chet Chadbourne
Sam Frock

Photo match?
 
I think he's sitting on the bench third man in from left to right?

Here's my C.1907 Worcester RPPC for comparison. Burkett is front row, third player from left.

So is that Burkett center front?

When I compare it to your postcard Jeff, I think Burkett is sitting dead center in the front row on mine, with the dark sweater on.
