His glove is an outfielder's. If I had to guess the three guys on the left, I'd say Bing Miller or Rogers Hornsby, George Earnshaw or Lefty Gomez, and Mule Haas, but I could be way off. Any ideas? Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris:
The only one I can POSITIVELY identify beside Cochrane and Grove you mentioned is Cy Perkins Phillies coach second from the left.
None are Dykes, Hornsby or Speaker to my eyes. The guy on the right may be one of the Waner brothers, though I am not positive.
Guessing they are all old Philadelphia A's players. Perhaps the Phillies were honoring them one night which is why they are in Phillies uniforms.
