no offense to anyone (least of all Adam), but why do people ALWAYS feel compelled to make the "it's Joe Jackson with Babe Ruth in the background" type joke, har-de-har, whenever an inquiry like this is made? I know no one was ragging on Bruce personally, but it's not like the photo does not depict a significant baseball player. Bruce is obviously asking a serious question that doesn't deserve a derisive response.

On the other hand, when some clueless newbie comes on with a hopeful(or hopeless) notion that their cabinet photo of Cousin Jimmy in a local uniform is actually some lost major league star, I don't think they deserve our derision either. Just gently educate them--

My two cents...
