Very cool history behind White Sox at Royal Gorge 1910

[Dto7]

The Player in white could be Ray Ryan.

Could this be Al Louis Shaw but not to be confused with Al Simpson Shaw.

[bmarlowe1]

Ryan yes.

Shaw no - the easiest thing to see is the ear shape difference between the face in question and the two Shaw images on the right. There are other issues as well.

Sometimes you can find exactly what you need. Unknown guy from Royal Gorge below left, Al Louis Shaw with Detroit 1900, right. The ears immediately tell the story.

Would you say that this is the same player.

For sure.

I'm speculating at this point, but he may be Charlie French. He is a pretty good match to the face labeled as French in the 1910 White Sox team headshots in the 1911 Spalding Guide. Note that the Charlie French photo on Baseball-Reference is someone else - so one of them is wrong.

Could be French. But I don't have him on any list and his name wasn't in any of the box scores that I saw. White Sox didn't him from the Boston Red Sox until May 19, 1910.
