1914 White Sox & Giants @ Vatican POSTCARD - More Player ID's?
This is in regards to the 1914 Chicago White Sox & New York Giants @ Vatican City postcard. I know this has been a popular postcard for awhile, and that Charles Comiskey & John McGraw have been identified, but I thought we might be able to get a few more, thanks to a method I found of using a digital camera with a very high end loupe...
The main question, is: "Could the white haired gentleman actually be Kenesaw Mountain Landis?" It sounded crazy when I first thought that, but I learned that, at this time, he was constantly attending White Sox games, about to manage the Federal League (I just assumed his first baseball position was after the Black Sox scandal). I found references to Landis immersing himself in baseball at this time, probably knowing he would be helping run the Federal League.
