Early Team Photo...Revisited

[Vintagecatcher]

With many new members on the board, I figured it might be time to post my team photo again. Hopefully, the scan will be large enough so that people might be able to identify the players.


Thanks in advance,


Patrick

Do you have any additonal info on the photo? was there any info on the back of the photo?

Mark,

The photo is unmarked, however, I purchased it off eBay, because I recognized one of the players immediately, since he is one of the 7 major league catchers that I collect.

I believe this is a photo that was shot in Hot Springs, Arkansas during Spring Training. I'm pretty sure I have identified all but 2 of the players.

The M116 Sporting Life cards and the T207 set were quite helpful in the identification process.

Anyone have any guesses?

Howzabout for starters in the front row Josh Devore, Roger Bresnahan, Fred Snodgrass & Red Ames, Marlin, Texas, March 1908?
(No Buzz Arlett or Smead Jolley jabs, please)

Wow......look at the hands of the front row left player. They look like they could belong to Honus Wagner.......quite a set of mitts!!!!

OK - let's be nice. Patrick is not the only one to be confused about Pirates. In the next Legendary auction they are selling this very nice George Gibson (lot 848) as Babe Adams.
