Hi everybody!
Quick update on this: this contest is still open. We've gotten some great theories, some nice guesses, and also some stuff that's WAY out there, but I'm not confident enough in any of the responses at this stage. I did post some new research on the LOTG blog here: https://lotgauctions.wordpress.com/2...ontest-update/ The contest is still open. I'm hoping someone comes in with a slam-dunk, because I'm tearing my hair out over it! -Al

The way they are clowning around in the photo, I thought it might be a celebrity of the time (an actor/vaudeville performer) or a club employee (trainer, executive)/family member as he seems pretty short to be a ballplayer (there were certainly many short players, so just a thought...). I did some quick research on-line, but couldn't come up with anyone contemporary to the era that was a close match...

My guess was Ritter. From the updated blog, I guess I wasn't the only one.
I still think it's Ritter

 here is a closer image of Ritter. Ritter is listed as 5'9" and Wagner at 5'11". It looks like Wagner towers over the guy in the image.

I found a crumb.....
http://bklyn.newspapers.com/newspage/57650342/
with the reference in the article that also mentions Wagner and Clarke: THE SCORE. BROOKLYN'. Name. Alpernvrn, Casey: 3b. But can't find a name even close in the annals of MLB?!?!?!?!?!? Hey, if someone gets this based on my findings, I'm claiming half of that $200 credit!  Peace, Mike
