Bryan,

First off, thank you for sharing such a nice piece! Aesthetically charming and unique for sure!

In looking through the different faces, I was able to ID a particular fellow by the name of Bernie Hungling, a rather lanky catcher for the time period (6-2, 180). In the third picture you posted, he's the taller fellow standing in the back row, five players from the left. He played for the Robins for the 1922 and 1923 seasons, which would likely date this to the 1923 season, as you surmised.

Again, this is my best guess, but given other photos that are available of Hungling, I'm confident that is him in this particular group shot. Oh, and Dazzy Vance is standing directly to the left of Gene Bailey (looking down while fumbling with his glove) - very cool!

Best,
Josh
