found it! Went back down to the library. picture is spring training, April 1, 1902. before his second season. theyre all in a mish mash of home and away Giant hats and personal sweaters. cant really make out in the copy of the copy I am posting here, but the "B" for Bucknell is there and strong in the paper. Also Matty's holding a ball. Likely took this shot literally right before or after. The article reads that it was so cold practice was almost called off but the players wanted to workout in preparation for an exhibition game with Manhattan College the next day. so does before the start of his second season qualify as a rookie picture?
