Thanks for the input thus far! I am (personally) still torn on the facial comparison to Spencer over Donie Bush. The skeptic in me, says just because their is "catcher's mitt" style glove and standing by the warm-up plates, that (although a compelling argument) this creates a bias towards, "it must be a catcher". There are plenty of photos of Cobb with the same style of glove, not saying it IS Cobb, just discrediting the decisiveness of the [mitt = catcher] argument. If it was game play, it would absolutely be a completely different story.

I see the similarity of the noses between the Subject and Spencer, but the eyes, mouth, chin and ears move me towards Bush. I compiled headshots of Bush (both on the left, top and bottom) and Cobb (top, right) and Spencer (bottom, right) on to 1 photo for (hopefully) an easier comparison.

Thanks!
