Knowing now how often Irv Young was called Cy Young, I just don't see how the name/time frame/city/image can all match him, yet it isn't him.

Looking at the checklist of the Young,Cleveland version from the e97 set, it still has Kelly with Boston, though he was gone by 1908, it has Durham with New York, gone by May 1909, but also has Nicholls on Cleveland and he didn't go there until after Dec 1909 so the checklist still has guys on the wrong team well after they were gone.

The e97 Young,Cleveland checklist has Sullivan on Chicago, but that is obviously wrong. It's not Billy Sullivan of the White Sox on the card, it's Denny Sullivan, who was out of the majors by that time. It looks like they did the same exact thing with him as I am saying they did with Cy Young. Now there is two examples of the team changing(to fit another player) but the picture staying the same.
