Is that right? Both players played for Washington in 1887, but the clue is the position designation, I guess. Thanks for pointing that out. Getting the players confused is actually not hard to understand given the similarities in their appearance. Assuming the Old Judge cards are correct!?
I'd say those photos are correct. The player wouldn't have changed uniforms mid-photos and both players were let go early in the year, about a month after these photos were taken, so they were definitely taken the same day. Krieg had a card the next year with Minneapolis for comparison.
