I've been there a handful of times myself. It definitely is gorgeous. And that bridge is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up there now!

Red sweater guy on left looks nothing like Gandil to me. However, the guy at rear right with white cap sure looks like him--face, and ears that stick out a bit, and he looks young (which fits Gandil in 1910). Or he could be guy in center in white cap and dark shirt, angular face.
In fact, I would say red sweater guy might be Ed Walsh, comparing photos. Don't see anyone else who looks like Ed. Last edited by GregMitch34; 03-15-2014 at 10:47 AM. |

The faces can be seen on the Denver library site. The red sweater guy is not Walsh. The guy far right in the back holding the flag is not Gandil - he is Ed Walsh.

Yeah, you may be right on Walsh with flag.
I love Walsh's stats for 1910: 18-20, 1.27 era. Team finished under .500. The true "hitless wonders." Anyone spot Doc Casey. |

Using the Denver library image I can see (in no particular order):
Ed Walsh, Billy Sullivan, Shano Collins, Bruno Block, Billy Purtell, Freddy Parent, Rollie Zeider, Ed Hahn, Frank Smith, Hugh Duffy, Lena Blackburn, Jesse Tannehill, and Frank Lange. I can probably pick out a few more. Gandil is not there. BTW, the guy in the red sweater (far left) is Warren Gill. If you want me to connect names to faces, please post in somewhat higher res with numbers near each face. Last edited by bmarlowe1; 03-15-2014 at 11:55 AM. |

This is a 7X9" Mailing Card issued by the railroad featuring the team passing through the gorge.

Greg's, Jim's and K Farrell's cards are all things of beauty. I love this kind of sleuthing even if it is a team/era I don't collect.

Thanks for all the great detective work. Why would Casey (a star)not be there? I suppose Gandil, just starting out, was in some kind of minor league camp, if indeed he is not in picture.

Doc White is in the second photo, just to right of the train engine, in my opinion.

I just won another photo taken that day in an auction, apparently (from writing on back) from files of railroad company.
