Lovely Day...

#1: Howie Camnitz
#7: Lefty Leifield

#28: Chief Meyers
#30: Red Dooin
#31: Amby McConnell
#36: Larry Doyle
#59: Dennis Sullivan
#68: Fred Merkle
#96: Eddie Grant

78- Johnny Evers. Picture is kind of small.

Now I think I'm wrong...4 looks like Evers. I need a better pair of eyes.

77 is Joe Kelley.

Wow, my eyes hurt! we need a larger image to see some the smaller ones but some are fairly obvious...who wouldn't recognize Joe Kelley's balding pattern on #77!

#80 jumps out at me as Josh Devore...pose from E94.

#4 Evers
#5 Rucker
#7 Leifield
#20 Reulbach
#39 Kling
#78 Evers (again)
#108 Wagner

#1 - Howie Camnitz (Arms Folded - same as T206 image) I think it's close enough for government work, as they say.

Anybody else think that #68 is Fred Merkle?

10 Herzog...yep Rhett...kelley's balding pattern is unmistakable!

Taking the liberty of re-posting collage so we don't have to go back to previous page to look at it :).

Has the contest expired yet? Are we still eligible for the prize?

I of course instantly thought of the image from his T206 (http://bit.ly/ddibQx) and said yes...

Seems like it to me, but the image is pretty small!

#74 looks like George Gibson

A few more not yet IDed

40 - Ed Karger or Lajoie (not sure)
103 - Jim Pastorius
85 - Harry Steinfeldt
99 - Dots Miller

3 is Bush (T222)
7 is Krause (T206 throwing)
14 is Gibson (E93)
23 is (I think) Chase (also E93)
39 is Archer (T222)
40 is Karger (T206)
49 is Moore (E94)
66 is (I think) Devlin
107 is Knabe

my eyes hurt..
but
101 is Mathewson
is 106 Hal Chase ?
40 - looks like wags to me..

I think I see Joe Jackson! In the lower left / upper right quadrex; he is sliding back to first (reverse negative angle). I think he is wearing a Cleveland home jersey uniform???

Oh wait, wrong thread......

Lovely Day...

#79...
 

...looks like John McGraw to me.

101 Christy Mathewson (T206)
103 Jim Pastorius (T206)
107 Otto Knabe (T206)
108 Honus Wagner

I don’t believe #23 is Hal Chase because he threw left handed and #23 is throwing with his right.

Anyone think #98 might be Sam Crawford?

I am pretty sure #92 is Hooks Wiltsie (E93)

#97 is Slim Sallee (T3)

50 looks like Ed Konetchy to me, and 59 looks like Germany Schaeffer

#24 street
#67 Wolter
#98 McGraw
#103 looks like Cobb getin smacked in the Nutz by 104:D


Just my guesses

#093 T206 Jimmy Sheckard (no glove)
#095 T206 Harry Steinfeldt (batting)

Lovely Day...

Just to be clear -- the original poster has the key, right?

Sorry no Key :o

The few that I could pick out have already been named, but #59 doesn't look like he's having a good day :D
