I am not claiming to be a Wagner expect but after reviewing the photo if I were a betting man I would put my money on that it is not Honus Wagner. If you compare what you can see of the batters face the small amount that you can alongside a more recent card showing Owen Wilsons face the similarities are striking although his nose is similar to Wagners, it has more of a pronounced hook to the tip much like the batter. The other facts that lead me to the conclusion that is most likely not Wagner is a comparison of the batters legs. The photos I have reviewed of full body shots of Wagner show that he has a thicker build broader shoulders as stated by others, but he has thicker calves than the batter as well. Know to be barrel chested if this was Wagner is almost like a pre and post steroid allegation Barry Bonds comparison of the two different players in question. The batters build is simply too small to be Wagner.
Attached are photos for comparison
