Vintageball.com has a clear photo image of this PC on his website - he also states "Clearly visible is Hall of Famer "Iron Man" McGinnity..."

I think that using an artist's depiction of McGinnity (on the baseball card) is not a good way to identify him in a photo. I've attached the 1909 images of McGinnity and Wolverton (from the composite) and a 1910 image of McGinnity. To my eyes, it could as easily be Wolverton, or perhaps someone else entirely.
Edited to add: An ebay seller identified Wolverton as the second from the left, but did not identify McGinnity in the image, despite knowing that he was on this team.
