New Website: 1888-1934 World Tours (Postcards, Photos and More)

Thanks for the kind words everybody!

Barry -- that's a good book. Another good one is The Tour to End All Tours (http://www.lettersource.com/tour/index.html).

Robert - nice additions to your site.

I noticed in your 1908 section the photo, below center, that you thought was likely Jake Stahl. When compared to Stahl on the left, we can see that the noses/nostrils are markedly different and that the ear shapes don't match. I think we can be sure that he is not Stahl.

He does match Hugh Bradley, depicted in a photo taken by Paul Thompson, below right.

When I launched that page a while back, I noted on the site that BOTH names were marked on the photo -- Stahl and Bradley -- and provided links to images of BOTH players.

I assume that's what drove you to Bradley, correct?

I agree with you...

However, I haven't updated the page since I provided both possible identifications. I will get around to this at some point, eliminating mention of Stahl.

I actually haven't updated the photo section since I launched it and have many changes to make there -- from adding many, many better photos to including input from player families identifying images and changing some IDs.

Thanks,

Robert

It helped, but I know those guys pretty well.

Anything interesting on Bradley that I should add to the site other than that he hit the first homerun in Fenway?

Let me know, Mark -- as any unique tidbits make for nice additions in the text!

Thanks again,

Robert
