Help Identifying St. Louis Browns (?) Postcard

[GoCubsGo32]

One guy looks like Rube Waddell (bottom row, 2nd on the left). Maybe 1908-1910? But I could be wrong.

Rube Waddell is not in the photo. The sweater logo does match what is seen on the Browns uniform 1911-1914, so it could be them, but so far I can't match any faces.

Any chance bottom right is Bobby Wallace?

Big nose (too wide?), small mouth, big chin, and similar eyes. Never really seen a pic of Wallace smiling though so its hard to tell.

I think that Jimmy Austin may be top row, 2nd from right.

No - no Jimmy Austin or Bobby Wallace or any other well-known faces here.

St Louis University had a baseball squad back then.

Hi All,

Thank you for the responses so far. I certainly went through a few players in my head, including Austin and especially Wallace, but could not confirm anything — close but not close enough.

I also considered a college team but the players look too old, at least some of them.

If this really is a grouping of members of the St. Louis Browns is is really bad luck in the timing of the photo to not have one at least semi-recognizable face.

I did notice something new under close inspection — the player in the upper row, second from the left, has a different sweater on than the others. His sweater’s logo is similar but features an “S” with a giant bottom to the second portion, unlike the logo on the sweater just next to him. Here it is blown up:



I cannot find this logo anywhere.



Best,

Zach
