Rogers Hornsby - 1914/1915 Denison Team Photo

The ears are way off, both of them. The difference is not slight or because of angle. Unless Hornsby had his ears done, that's not him.

Not looking good for me either. I understand the research you've done but the guy in your photo looks very different from the PC of him only a year or two later.

I guess that we will agree to differ.

(The spalding guide photo is not nearly clear enough to make any kind of determination. I'm actually surprised at the decent quality of this one as many of them were blurred, double-printed, etc. and you could barely identify a player even when his name was printed right underneath his picture).

The Spalding Guide photos also have players misidentified...the 1913 Superior photo clearly has Dazzy Vance and "Glass Arm" Eddie Brown mixed up. Those Spalding Guides are great references, but not always accurate.

Thanks, Dan. That's more like the photo quality that I am used to from the Spalding guides.

If I can figure out how to adjust the settings for my scanner, I will post a higher resolution scan of the photo (600dpi not sure about the tiff part though).

It's not clear enough to make any measurements, but unlike the Denison player in Phil's photo, he very much looks like Hornsby.
