Default Moses Fleetwood Walker?

OK, before people assume this one is bad automatically hear me out.

I bought a 1905-1909 Oberlin College Scrapbook from the estate of a player on the Football team. Many of the photos show integrated Bands and events and also both the Baseball and Football teams had Black players.

There was a few photos identified as "alumni Baseball Game" from c. 1907 where the players from both teams were former Oberlin players. The catcher in this photo is clearly a tall, thin African American player.

Now, Moses Walker was an alumni of Oberlin, still living in the area in 1907, and played catcher. As far as I know he is the only black player to have played that position for Oberlin that could have played in this game.

Without being able to have a clear look at his face, what do you guys think?
