Default Help needed in identifing players in photo

Posted By: Dave Weisner

Great picture. You can actually buy the entire short as part
of a DVD called Reel Baseball (available at Amazon among other
places) which is a collection of silent films and shorts about
baseball. Maybe the credits will tell you who the players are,
but I kind of doubt that there are any real players, just actors.

p.s. I saw one review of the movie that said it was partly
filmed at the newly opened Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. This
makes sense because John Bunny lived in Brooklyn and the film
was made in 1914 and Ebbets opened in 1913.
