The great grandfather - uncle type confusion is not uncommon. Identifying people for whom one has only seen a small number of still images is actually very difficult for most people, even if the images include a HoF plaque. And, the "Net54 Josh Gibson" is not just a phenomenon we see for black ballplayers.
Leon - blowing up a low res image does not help - you just get a bigger blurry image. It has to be posted in hi-res. Anyway, my guess is that Ryan knows these players well.
