I haven't heard that malocchio term since Frank Lorenzo put it on Archie Bunker in one of the early 70's episodes.

Nice photo and cool shot of Herzog.

More great info guys thanks again. I think we have positive id's on most of the players now.

After looking at a few more pics of Hal Chase I think Sean is right and that is Hal Chase standing next to buck herzog. He has that same unique wrinkle pattern around his eyes and face that several of Chase's photos have. The photo that really helped me the most with that one was his pic at First Base in Deadball Stars of National League.

I wonder what the number "2" is all about? Five guys are flashing the "2" sign, although one in the front row is doing it European style. One guy is banging out a double "2." Great pic!

Take Care,
Geno

Thanks Geno.

I wonder if it has anything to do with honoring "Rabbit" Robinson who died? I think he was playing with Cincinnati at the time.

That is a very good theory. A fellow board member emailed me a pic of the 1916 reds from the spalding guide and it is the photo they used for the book so it has the full roster. While I thought Hal Chase must have made the photo he did not. Here is a scan of the spalding image:
