ID Help: MOE BERG?? 1923/24 Brooklyn Robins? (Bonus: There is a Dog Smoking a Pipe!)

John - I did a side-by-side with Hungling. Looks pretty good to me:

Still curious what the crowd thinks about the Moe Berg id. I think the shape of the face, head, and features is right and that the shadow from the cap is making it hard to tell how heavy his eyebrows are.

I forgot to post the back. This is an RPPC that was owned by Gene Bailey - his daughter mis-id'd the team and the year on the back. Below is also another photo of him and Charlie Hargreaves (the back says 1924 but they were both on the team in 1923-24).

If that is actually a spring training image, and if Berg only played with them in 1923, then it is very unlikely that is Berg. In the spring of 1923 he was still playing for Princeton, as late as June I believe, and he was apparently gone in 1924. A lot of ifs in this, I know.

I don't know...

But before I looked at the responding posts, I looked along at the players. Jumping out at me was the 6th fellow from the left, standing. He's turned his face away from the photographer as he talks to the fellow to his left. My guess was that he looked like Moe based on my recollection of his likeness from cards and pictures. Baseball Reference has him at 6'1".
