Negro League Grays - ID help needed
I'm trying to identify this photo. Does anyone have any clues as to the date? I'm guessing mid-40s but that's just a guess. Also, if anyone recognizes any players, that would be a big help.
Thanks! Edit: Oddly my linked photo disappeared. Let me try attaching it.... Last edited by Frankish; 08-17-2021 at 01:17 PM.

Certin it is Homested Greys I think mid 30's. A quick look at some team photos on line and some of the players in your photo are in same. My eyes don't let me identify players anymore. Good luck great photo..

Frank:
It's an early 1920's photo of the Grays, a top independent ball club of the day and prior to the 1925 arrival of Smokey Joe Williams, the first key cog in the soon to be Grays powerhouse that would include Josh Gibson, Oscar Charleston and Jud Wilson. Players that I have identified thus far are Jasper Washington & Mo Harris, who went on to become a top Negro National League umpire. Cumberland Posey was a player/manager/promoter/owner but, unfortunately, is not pictured in this photo. Last edited by bcbgcbrcb; 08-17-2021 at 06:33 PM.

I'd suggest reaching out to Bob Kendrick, President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. He's active on Twitter. I was fortunate to be part of a private tour at the NLBM led by Bob last week. He's a wealth of knowledge (and stories!) and he may be able to ID some additional players in that photo.
