John SObviously arguments can be made regarding differences between the two photos; but it is difficult to deny that the Colgan's Field and the individual in the Montreal team picture are the same person.
Rhett and I have spent significant chunks of time just trying to find records of a "Field" playing for any team (obviously focusing on Montreal and the Eastern League) with no luck. This debate would become more interesting if someone could unearth records of a "Field" playing for any team during the first twenty years of the 1900's.
Take any two photos of a player, add them to pool of hundreds of pictures of indivduals in the same demographic (in basically the same pose), and differences become glaring (because of the similarities).
