Scott Brockelman in his pre-weight lifting days?

I'm guessing it's Hammersley (since his name is on the card). Baseball-reference shows a Walter Hammersley who played for Albany and Troy in the New York State League in 1912.

That image is circa 1890.

New York University (NYU) wore the exact same jerseys as the New York Giants during the late 19th and early 20th centuries so that can be a problem sometimes when people see "New York" and assume it is a Pro player when often times it is from NYU. I have owned 3 team cabinet photos of NYU (still have one) and a few individual cabinets and they seem to have copied the Giants uniforms for quite a while.

If this is Walter Hammersley then, according to this article, he is in the T210 set
