1907 NYAL mystery photos
3 Attachment(s)
I have a 1907 composite photo that is likely a presentation piece after season was done but 2 of the photos are unlabeled. Any guesses on who the players might be? One looks like Neal Ball but I thought you guys might have some ideas. One could be either Rudy Baerwald or Branch Rickey?

I don't know. Griffith would have been 38 in 1907 and only pitched 4 games. Photo looks like a much younger player. I guess earlier photo could have been used but he was already pictured as the manager.

I agree the first one is Clark Griffith

On the reverse there is a notation of Al Orth - I was kind of assuming that this was distributed to all the team members after the season and that it might have been in whatever he saved

Al Orth is the third player and looks like in Chicago. Here's another of him in Chicago in 1905.

Below is detail re Orth on the composite. I still think the unlabeled guy near him is Neal Ball.

This is not a 1907 team photo but rather a composite photo. I guess the team did not have individual photos done of each player each year but rather provided the photographer what they had on hand to put together the piece.
