I've been a long time lurker, and I haven't posted anything on this website in well over a year simply because I haven't had anything worth mentioning until now. I recently acquired an old photograph with pencil writing on the back that reads "sockalexis." Being an avid baseball fan and collector, I immediately thought of Lou Sockalexis. I tried to find some pictures of Lou to compare the one I have too, but I couldn't find a lot of pictures of him. Hopefully, some of the experts here can help me shed some light on this. Here is my photo:

Does anybody think that this could be a young Lou Sockalexis? Am I a sucker of wishfull thinking? If the word sockalexis wasn't written on the back, I probably wouldn't have thought anything of it, but my photo looks a lot like the picture of Lou that is on the book cover indian summer By the way, if this is obviously not him, please don't make fun of me too much.
