Technically, the 1975 Fleer - "Pioneers of Baseball" set is a Post-War / Pre-1980 set. However, since Ed Delahanty played from 1888-1903, I decided to post this thread here.

Apparently, Ed was a hitting machine. But he had a drinking problem and was suspended for drinking in 1903. In that same year, he was ejected from a train because of his lewd and violent behavior toward other passengers while in a drunken state. He then decided to walk across the railway bridge which spans the Niagara River; connecting Buffalo, New York with Fort Erie, New York. Ed then either fell or jumped to his death. He was 35.
Ed Delahanty was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1945.

Okay, enough background history. Here's the issue.......

The photo on the 1975 Fleer card depicts Ed (or perhaps someone else) wearing a Philadelphia Athletics uniform. However, Ed never played for the Athletics. He played for the Philadelphia Quakers (1888-1889), the Cleveland Infants (1890), Philadelphia Phillies (1891-1901), and the Washington Senators (1902-1903). He also had 4 brothers (Frank, Jim, Joe & Tom) who all played professional baseball. However, none of them ever played for the Athletics.

The photo at the far right is of Ed Delahanty in 1903. Is it the same face as the one on the card? I can't tell.

So, is the photo on the card Ed Delahanty or someone else?
And if it is someone else; who?
