Bresnahan was 5' 9" 200 lbs, similar to Wagner's 5' 10 1/2" and probably 200-210 lbs. by 1908. Batter looks quite a bit taller than the catcher in this photo (tough to tell because they are both slightly bent over). I do have a photo of Wagner batting left in a pre game photo, but it won't load at this time. Not positive, but I'm giving 3-1 odds it not being Wagner.

Own Wilson was in Wedding Crashers, I don't think that looks like him.....however....

I don't see a date on here, how did u get that?

Does anyone have pix of the Pirates sox from that season, the stripes on it could confirm if it's a Pitt player or not.

That could read "Gill at bat"....although Gill was a righty as well.
