That's a good question. I wonder myself. Dating the W600s sometimes gets tricky. Tom Shieber who wrote the article is Senior Curator at the Hall of Fame. I suppose one could write research@baseballhalloffame.org and ask him.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Lipsett sold the photographs before that. Sorry no link. I think I still have the catalog if someone needs it.

For starters - the uniform was unique to 1902. So - I guess the implication is it was taken in 1903 prior to the season.
