Help to identify baseball team from old photo & rppc

Thanks, Jason, I'm kicking myself for not even thinking about this player being a pitcher!!! It seems so obvious now. lol Anyway, that narrowed down the field of choices to about 6 according to baseball-reference.com. I think that it might be Gene "Rubber Arm" Krapp. I included a Wiki pic of his baseball card when he played with the Portland Beavers. thanks for the suggestion!

Holy Krapp! I don't normally say this but that looks like a match to me. See if you can find any photos of Krapp. to match with your photo.

Ha ha!! holy Krapp...that's awesome! I see a lot of similarities in the mouth.. especially the area between the nose and mouth. yeah, I'm looking to find actual photos of him online, no luck so far... thanks

Here he is with Buffalo Feds... It's him.

omg, it is him! thanks so much for finding that photo. Where did you find that one? That is so great! I never did look into the Buffalo team for more photos. wow, I wasn't 100 percent, sometimes those colorized cards change the look of the person. wow, thanks

Just Gene Krapp in Google Images. Came right up. Nice find. Cool piece.

Where did you find them? Is the individual player a postcard or a photo in a mount? Is he present in the team picture?

[MENAHAN319]

cool, I just Googled it, too.. I found the pics in a box of my Mom's, she collected old photos at antique shops, garage sale, etc..

The photo of Krapp is a photo mounted/ cabinet card. He is in the group shot, too. Seated on left end of the front row wearing a sweater (maybe it was a game day and he was keeping his arm warm!). Funny thing, he was listed as one of the 5 shortest pitchers in MLB history.
