Let's provide a little background information here:

The Denison minor league baseball team's first season of existance was 1912 and they were only around for a very short period of time.

The uniform style shown in the photo (city name running down the chest vertically) was only utilized for a very short period of time. The earliest team photo that I have found through extensive research was 1909 and the latest was 1914 (Spokane).

The 1915 Denison team photo that Mark provided from the Spalding BB Guide obviously shows a different uniform style and for argument's sake, we'll say that was the only style uniform that team wore during 1915.

Now we have narrowed down the only possible dates of the photo to a three-year period from 1912 - 1914. I assume that everyone will agree up to here.

Hornsby played on the 1914 Denison team but not 1912 or 1913.

Now, my question is: What is the likelihood that a player so incredibly closely resembling Hornsby played on the 1912 Denison or 1913 Denison teams that was in fact not Hornsby?

If anyone can come up with a team photo of the 1912 and/or 1913 teams and it shows that identical player's face, I will be convinced that my photo does not picture Hornsby. Otherwise, I really have no doubt that it is him based on more and more research that I do.
