Some of those ID’s are suspect.

For comparison, I have posted below a photo of the 1900 team in spring training, with IDs by myself and one other poster at Baseball-Fever.com, and have also posted a newspaper clipping of a group photo of the team with IDs in the caption.

Standing (L-R): Tommy Leach (3B), Honus Wagner (RF), Pop Schriver (C), Ginger Beaumont (CF), Tom McCreery (LF/RF), Walt Woods (P), Patsy Flaherty (P).
Kneeling (L-R): Chief Zimmer (C), Tacks Latimer (C), Tom O'Brien (1B/LF), Deacon Phillippe (P), Jimmy Williams (2B), Fred Clarke (LF/Mgr.), Jesse Tannehill (P).
Sitting (L-R): Sam Leever (P), Bones Ely (SS), possibly Tom Messitt (Louisville C, did not play for Pit in 1900) or Louis Deal (minor league C, did not play for Pit in 1900), possibly Jack Chesbro (P), Pop Dillon (1B), Claude Ritchey (2B), Rube Waddell (P).

Walter Woods is not the man sitting in the middle of the original photo. He is a very distinct looking person and that man has a rounder face. That is why I am questioning some of the id’s. The person id’d as Pop Dillon in the original image looks more like Woods.

I agree that it appears to be Woods sitting in the middle of the bottom row, rather than third from the left in the middle row.

Back to OP's original question. Sure looks A LOT like Kitty Bransfield. If it can't be, then so be it. I'm not a forensic reconstruction artist, or a historical baseball statistician. Looks more like him than anyone else.
