1910 Kansas City Red Sox with Casey Stengel

Has anyone seen this image before?

Are the Kansas City Red Sox & Kansas City Blues the same team? Stengel played for the Blues in 1910 but only 4 games, it would be very unusual for him to appear on a team photo having played in that few games........

No, they are two different teams. He played for the KC Red Sox, not the Blues.

Here is the link to the Baseball-Reference.com website indicating that he played on the Kansas City Blues, do they have it wrong?

Yes

There are other photos of Stengel when he played with the KC Red Sox, also with Marysville (including a baseball card), but I haven't seen this actual image before. Scouring the internet, can't find it, but I'm sure it's out there somewhere.
