For sure. The images are not clear but the head shape -chin- ear shape- hairline combination is so distinctive, and he was on the team, so that has to be Konnick.

Also I agree with Rhys on Castleton. I researched this photo (hats on version in Library of Congress) about 10 years ago when the online face reference resources were not nearly as good as now. Thanks guys for filling in some of the blanks.

That leaves only one missing face (below right), #26.

At left is Wingo Anderson with Nashville in 1911. Center is a guy identified as Wingo Anderson in an RMY photo. This is our guy.

What is interesting is that in Mark Okkonen's "2000 Cups of Coffee" there is a completely different face identified as Wingo Anderson. Maybe just another "Wingo Anderson", I don't know. Also, the baseball-reference "Wingo Anderson' image seems to be yet another person. I don't know the source of their photo.

Cincinnati Reds from spring training 1910 in Hot Springs Arkansas.

Some players still have their previous team sweater on or in the case of Jimmy Doyle, it appears he is wearing a St Louis sweater. Since he is a Rookie in 1910, it must have been an extra that he borrowed maybe from Fred Beebe who played in St Louis in 1909. It appears the uniform ordering system in 1910 was a bit slower than today's standards which is really of no surprise.

#27 is not Brownie Burke, who was described in the papers as a dwarf. Burke is in Griffith's lap in another team photo taken in 1910:
