Help with Black Team id - 1915-25 era? GIANTS

Posted By: Kenny Cole

I think the photo is probably too early for Paige to be in it. The guy on the bottom right looks a whole lot like Pete Hill. I'm pretty sure its him. He finished his career as a player/manager in 1925. He played for the Philadelphia Giants, the Leland Giants, and the Chicago American Giants.

The guy on the top right resembles Rube Currie, but I'm not sure. He played from 1920 to 1928. I'm also not as sure about the player on the top left, but my first thought is that it is Ed Wesley. It also kind of looks like Eufemio Abreu, a Cuban catcher who played in the Negro Leagues for a long time.

If I'm correct about Hill, the photo is probably from the early 20's at the very latest. That's just a touch before Satchel showed up. Satchel's debut was 1927, I believe.
