Here's an old turn of the century Cuban X-Giant cabinet card I've had for a while. Still haven't had any luck identifying him though.

After several years of searching, I may have finally just figured out who this X-Giants player is. Id be interested what others think.

I'm always hesitant about trying to match up photos cuz of the photo matching fog your brain can go through, however, the X-Giants were only around a short time and this guy is a little unique looking.

I found this photo of the 1905 X-Giants and the guy standing 3rd from the right caught my eye.

Then I found the following:

Looks to me like my guy is Rogelio Valdez (Valdes).
