I was surprised to find an image of Cedar Rapids 1904 with Clarence Holmes. Crappy as it is, there is a good chance he is unk5.

So Scott - are you happy now? BTW - without z28jd this would not have been done.

Yes, I'm very happy. And I agree - John is amazing with his Pirates research, as are you with your i.d. skills. I'm good at wasting money!

Yes, thanks Rhett and Don. It's great having so many resources here to go to for such things. Hope to be able to return the favor at some point.

Default Possible other candidate for Unknown # 2
Mark and Scott,
Not meaning to muddy the waters on Unknown # 2, but I believe that another candidate for this gent would be AP "Lefty" Leifield.

Here is a signed vintage newspaper cut of Lefty who was absolutely a member of this 1905 Pirates team. Lefty Leifield threw an unofficial no-hitter that was called after 6 innings (ran out of daylight?) in 1906. Lefty is listed at 6'1" and 175 lbs., which is very much the build that Unknown mystery man # 2 has.

What do you both think about this comparison?

Thanks!

Leifield joined the team in September. Wouldn't be on the same team photo as McBride

I have a lot of notes that aren't well-organized and tons of useless Pirates info floating around in my head. Not something you can put on a resume, unless you write for a website that covers the Pirates...so basically, I have the one and only job I'm over-qualified for
