I know Phil, just a quick glance at the players will reveal there isn't a Smokey Joe or Oscar Charleston in that picture. The dating I can give them a little leeway on, not many people are knowledgeable on the uniform styles worn by the Negro Leagues. Being an illustrator/designer I've studied them and have a big library of notes and photos that help me make my illustrations as accurate as possible and the Homestead Grays, along with the KC Monarchs are the 2 teams that make it easiest to ID a date because they changed uniform designs almost every year.
