OK. Who is in this picture?

I wouldn't mind some actual speculation about Brian's question.

From this picture on baseball reference it resembles who it says it is on the card. I assume it's not him since it's being questioned.

Vic Willis never player for the Cubs that I am aware of.

"During the off-season St. Louis sold Willis to the minor league Baltimore Orioles of the Eastern League. Although some doubt existed whether Willis would report to the minors, he told the Baltimore Sun: "I feel very much satisfied to play in Baltimore." Despite this apparent sale, both the Cubs and Reds put in a waiver claim for Willis. These waiver claims were ruled to be valid; St. Louis President Stanley Robison had mistakenly believed his waivers were good until the opening of the next season and consequently had to return Baltimore's check. Willis ended up being awarded to Chicago for the $1,500 waiver price, but elected to retire rather than report to the Cubs."

Ok, one question - How accurate is Dressed To The Nines?, or maybe the question is - Did the players always 100% of the time actually wear the uniforms as indicated in Dressed To The Nines?

If it's accurate, then he's wearing a 1908 Cubs World Series uniform. That should narrow it down to about 15 players.

Player in question:



Closest matches from the 1908 Cubs roster:

Pat Moran


Kid Durbin

Sorta looks like Moran, both are righthanded - but the glove is not a catcher's mitt.

I went to Baseball Reference and looked at the Cubs roster from 1908-1911. I couldn't find a match.
