Good catch; they can't both be in the photo. Given the fuzziness of the picture and the fact that both of the players in question have their caps pulled down low on their foreheads, I think that Pete is about as good a match for the player on the left as Cupid is for the center player. Are there any other photos that were apparently taken on the same day, that would help establish a date?
