Give the seller some credit. Although he inaccurately identifed the portrait photo as Frank Baker, and thus inadvertantly wrote Frank's name on the back, he did nail the fact that it is a photo of a major league baseball player, because, dagnab it, that's the splitting image of a teenage Jimmy Sheckard if I ever saw one. I should know, as I have a photo of an old man holding a fish, and not only does the wrinkly face have a remarkable resemblance to a geriatic version of Jimmy Sheckard, the manner in which he is holding the fish is suggestive of how a ballplayer would make a basket catch, thus offering definitive proof that it is none other than Jimmy Sheckard.
