Christy Mathewson and who?

[GKreindler]

Hey guys,

I had a question for you deadballers about this photo:



Does anyone have any idea who the player on the extreme left is? I know that Matty is in the center, with Hooks Wiltse behind him, resting his hands on his knees. To the left of Christy is Dummy Taylor. And then all the way on the left is...I don't know.

This is definitely the '06 Giants team (as per the jersey), and the shot was taken at the Polo Grounds. Since the other three players are pitchers, I imagine he is one as well. And in looking through the roster, I could only come up with a few players who's faces I wasn't familiar with: Henry Mathewson (Christy's brother) and Cecil Ferguson. But, I'm not entirely sure that he's one of those two.

I definitely want to do a painting of this eventually, and it does need some cropping, but if I can't figure out who that particular player is, chances are he's gone. If I can, then I'll extend it a little bit so we see his entire body. Right.

So, can anyone shed some light?

Here's a better shot of the man:



Thanks, all!
