QED

That's fairly cut and dry. The guy on the right is not Joe Wood to my eye.. It's actually and easy call using that array.

Also, I don't see how one can assert with any degree of certainty that these two images depict the same person.

I've got the 1906 Ness City photo and a 1907 Hutch postcard of Joe Wood and neither look like the guy that Leon posted. He's in the lower right in the Ness City photo. It's not him.

Deja vu! This subject comes up every two years like clockwork.

Leon can you respond to the posts that have pointed out that Joe Wood played for the Western Bloomer team and not the Boston Bloomer team and the fact that your postcard is of the Boston Bloomer team? How do you explain the discrepency if you are saying that is Joe Wood on the Boston team?

Also, as I pointed out your postcard was produced after March of 1907 and not before. Joe Wood played for the Western Bloomer team in 1906. It could not possibly be him.

ok, thanks guys. I have read enough that I don't think it's him now. It still looks like him to me but like I always say, if everyone else is wrong, you (which is me this time) need to look in the mirror. Much appreciated. Maybe in 2 more years the subject will come up again!!
