Obak & Zeenut ID help, and scans needed

[rhettyeakley]

Looking at the 2 different Charles Shields minor league stats I am inclined to say they are the same person

Major Leaguer Charles Jessamine Shields: http://www.baseball-reference.com/mi...d=shield002cha
and Minor Leaguer Charles Shields: http://www.baseball-reference.com/mi...d=shield001cha

You can see the continuity between the 1907 Memphis w/ the prior and the 1908-09 Memphis records w/ the latter. However, I'm not sure this is the right Shields (but probably is).

The Whelan/Whalen question is trickier b/c for them to be the same person he woul have had to theoretically start w/ the Georgia State League team as a 16 year old (not unheard of but that is pretty young). Again, I'm not sure this is the right guy that is pictured on the T210 (but probably is).

Edited to add: it should be added the player they have as J. F. Whalen playing for Junction city in 1909 is obviously James Francis (Jimmy) Whelan whom they have w/ Junction City in 1910.

I just found this forum. My grandfather is John (Sunny Jack) Sutthoff and I was thrilled to see the button - an image I hadn't seen previously. Do you have other images of Sutthoff?

Thanks.

a gentle suggestion...

You might want to start a new thread, as man people who might be able to help you might otherwise not look at this thread, since your ask is a bit of a hijack/derail from the original thread purpose. There's a ton of great people here -- but start a new thread, and your odds of getting some scans will be much higher.

Cheers

Randy- don't know if you ever found your scans (or if you are still on Net54) but here a few you were looking for:

I'll add that you are the second Sutthoff Descendant to hit net54!
