Its as Plain as the Nose on your Face-the Ear Thing isn't Gospel

Lordstan--

Please let me correct your phrase--I believe you meant to say how can I prove the players in my photo are those players.


When I sent copies of my photo I used phrase "my interpretation"

( Interpretation= to conceive in the light of a individual belief, judgment.)


--------I am just thrilled the photo has enough merit for any article. ( Even when it will be bad )

If everyone believes there is no possibility, that's the way it will be.

If a just few believe there is a possibility, that's the way it will be.

No need to correct me.
I said exactly what I meant. You not only have no proof that the names you have assigned are correct, you have no proof that all the players in the picture are even on the same team. The players are wearing at least 3 or 4 different uniforms. All of your identifications go out the window because your entire theory is based upon the idea that this is one team. It clearly isn't.

Lordstan: the photo expert "photo collector"--I really have other important things to do right now than try to answer your valued opinions:

So Per your set in stone theory since these players are not wearing the same uniforms they are not on the same team?-!!-I believe they could be!

If you believe you might know who these players are, I believe I might know who my players are!

Wow.
I guess Scott was right.

I never said I was an expert, but I can obviously do things that you cannot, like see ear shapes and facial shapes. I can also learn new things. For instance, when someone who is widely accepted in our hobby as an expert in facial comparison and identification, like Mark(Bmarlowe1) is, I tend to pay attention and listen. You obviously refuse to listen and use just about any excuse possible to try and negate his, and everyone else who has ever opined on the photo, opinion because his conclusions don't fit with your agenda.
You can keep on living in your fantasy world where just because you think you're right, logic and reason are rejected. Congrats on your photo of some random group of players that have absolutely nothing to do with Charles Comiskey.

Using your logic, I see we can finally agree on something. I don't know who the players in this last photo you posted are, and you don't know who the players in your photo are.

Here's a vote to change this site to "ScottIsRight.com"!

Even I would never claim that I was always right. But I've come to realize that the consensus is that when I AM right, I can be kind of pompous about it.

The only thing worse than that is being wrong and being pompous about it, which I think we are getting an overdose of in this thread.

That's funny - you've finally posted a photo that actually does include Radbourn. It's a very well-known combined 1886 Bos NL / NY NL photo.

I thought you were some sort of photo guy?? I'm finding it hard to believe some of you will come on here and slam the OP with half-arsed opinions when it's obvious you know NOTHING!

Using the time-honored skills of facial-mustache recognition, it's plain to see that this photo doesn't just "include Radbourn." It includes 16 Radbourns!! (The guy in the top hat is Radbourn's twin brother.) My goodness, can't you see that! This is actually a well-known example of the first use of photoshop.

Ok after reading this thread I think you are all crazy. That is one of those old time photos of the Yankees/Red Sox. I won't give away all the ID's but the front row from left to right is Wade Boggs, Tino Martinez, Roger Clemens, Jim Rice, Bernie Williams, and Derek Jeter. The guy with the top hat is 100% Paul O'Neil.

Now I am no expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once.

This is pretty easy, the only guy in the t206 set with a mustache is titus. So every player in the picture with a stache must be titus. not sure on the clean shaven guys though.
