Photo Identification Help Thread

[DixieBaseball]

Thanks to Rhys and Rhett for helping me date the RPPC, and from there I consulted pictures in Spalding and Reach guides and came up with possibly the right person for the RPPC. I believe this RPPC dates from 1920-21 and is a photo of Chick Knaupp (William Lewis) who played for Nashville from 1920-22. Chick took over managing the Nashville club for Hub Perdue in 1921. Here is a team photo from a Spalding 1923 guide and Chick is #11. I believe it strongly resembles the RPPC, but will need confirmation from our Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist! The uni's are from 1922 in the Spalding guide, and I noticed that the RPPC did not have the "N" on the sleeve, so perhaps the RPPC dates a year or two before 1922, which fits the time frame for Chick.... I am still researching for further confirmation, but with the RPPC time frame Rhys provided (18-21), it made the hunt a lot easier. Thanks again guys ! Any opinions are welcome -
