Next up is this gentleman in almost-profile. He's in a Cubs uniform, no earlier than 1929, possibly as late as 1931. This one is from a photograph taken by George Burke which has his player/team ID coding, but not the player's name. I've got his player codes from a great many photos, and many more yet to record on the spreadsheet, but don't have a match to this one. So all that is to say I may be able to confirm or deny some guesses if I know the player code for your guess to be something else (if none of that last bit makes sense, just tell me who you think it looks like, and we'll go from there).

Taking one last look at it before posting, it looks like Rogers Hornsby to me, but would like to at least second that before I go with it (Hornsby, of course, is one that I don't have the player code for. If anyone has a Burke photo of Hornsby and can confirm the typed code on the back, that would be helpful as well).

Add: Scratch Hornsby from the list. I found his player code (361) on several negatives offered by Legendary, consistent over several years / teams. Code on this one is N3 (team code = National League Cubs) 584 (player code).
