Cleveland Player Photo ID Help
1 Attachment(s)
Hi-
Thank you again for everyone's help on the team photo I posted a couple of weeks ago. I really appreciate everyone's time and effort in trying to identify the team. Below is a scan of a Cleveland player from circa 1920. Any idea who this might be? The uniform resembles Indians uniforms from the late teens and early 1920s. I can provide a better scan if needed. Thanks in advance, Alan Elefson aelefson@hotmail.com |

Looks like a 1915 or 1916 uniform to me. I'm assuming there is no information at all on the back of the photo? Also, is that an off-center divot in his chin, or a flaw in the surface of the photo?
Still working on an ID, but I gotta admit, by the time I got halfway through the 1915 roster, every other one is looking like a match to my tired eyes. May take another look at it in the morning when I'm fresh, but hopefully someone else can chime in. Edited to add: Yikes, does Tim have a mouthful of bees in that photo? |

Looks like Joe Boehling

Don to the rescue once again!
I've got to admit, flipping through the headshots on baseball-reference for 1916 Indians players, I don't think I even gave Boehling a second glance: http://d3k2oh6evki4b7.cloudfront.net...e_Boehling.jpg The only photo I had of him on hand didn't help much either (see below), but I think the second photo Don showed of him is a much more compelling match. http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/l...4_front026.jpg |

Guys - the ears don't match.

The guy I was looking at last night for a match was Paul Carter and now that I get a fully awake look at him, I think he's the guy. It looks like he has the chin divit

Best I could come up with (sorry for the low res)

Wow! Thank you very much for everyone's help! I see the dimple on Carter and I will try to see if I can find a better image to compare.
Thanks again, Alan |

How about Jay Kirke...?

Anyone have a nice image of Bob Coleman with either Cleveland (1916) or Pittsburgh (1913-14), I remember seeing his image a while back and was struck by his features (ie he was ugly), I recall him resembling this gentleman but I can't seem to find a good shot of him now.

I certainly cannot tell but it might be Coleman. I do not see the dimples but I realize those might change over time. Thank you again for everyone's help!

Could it be Guy Morton?
|
I thought it looked more like Elmer Myers than any of the others shown so far, but no reaction, so I guess I'm seeing things.
