Default Help Me Identify A Player

Posted By: Dan

I bought 8 or 9 of them and all of them but two had photos on the back. I too wish I would have bought more of the non-baseball photos. I did get lucky with the "unidentified" photos that I bought. I got two of Jimmy Archer in a Tigers uni. He played only 18 games with the Tigers in 1907 and went on to a great career with the Cubs. He was one of the finest defensive catchers of the day. Hughie Jennings said that letting Archer go was one of his biggest mistakes he ever made. I also got one of Davy Jones, and one of Sam Crawford.

I still have one that I'm trying to identify if anyone wants to give it a shot.

I'm thinking maybe Ed Barrow who would have been McIntyre's first manager in Detroit. But that's probably wishful thinking.
