Sorry if I'm asking something that everyone else knows, but am I missing something here? Are these the same guy/photo, and is it Irv or Cy?

Thanks

Joann

The clue is that Cy Young was NOT left-handed.

Yes, it is Irv.

I didn't think it looked like Cy, and w/some sets using the negative/backward photos wasn't sure about RH v LH. I just couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that a mistake would be made on a Cy Young card, instead of an Irv Young card. Oops. Yikes.

Aside from being lefthanded, you would think the big "Minneapolis" on Young's jersey would be a clue too. I guess they must have airbrushed it off on the e97 to cover up their mistake.

Paul, actually the opposite, the Minneapolis would have been added to the jersey on the t206 card.
