Teammates Reunited After 100 Years

I bought the first RRPC last September from a seller in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Written on the back is Geneseo IL. This month I was thrilled to find another RPPC shot just before or after the first, sold by a seller in Bloomington, Illinois. The catcher is the same in both as is the onlooker sitting in the car.

That is really cool!

I think these are different people. The batter on top is wearing a different shirt, has a dirt smudge on his shoulder, and his pants look different. Also, the catchers are wearing different caps. Definitely the same locale, day, game, etc, but my money is on different guys.

Either way, super cool to find a companion like that!

Definitely different batters. I hadn't looked too closely at the catchers because they are dressed similarly but you are right, it appears to be two catchers - good spot!

Okay that is really cool. Congrats Bryan.

The catcher in the first photo looks like he could be black, definitely darker
skinned than the one in the second photo.

The photographer appears to have moved to his left in the second postcard. On the right you can see a second telephone pole. Less of the house and mostly missing telephone pole on the left. The rear wheel of the car has a space between the outer rim and the fence post between 9 and 12. Based on the shadows they do look like they were taken about the same time of day. It could be the end of one game and the beginning of another. Nice RPPC's and very serendipitous.
