I remember. I think if anyone could have been Cy it would be the sixth player from the right. No one else is close.

I knew someone on here would know about these rascals. And Lyman, you are seriously to blame for me asking, I was about to put together an article for you. Now that you've quit outbidding me on these I've been able to pick up a few. So Lyman, what date / magazine issue do you suggest for the NY Americans?




Cornell.



A closeup of Cornell, showing Hall of Famer Hughie Jennings.





A closeup of the West Point photo, and I think this may be Douglas MacArthur.





New York Giants.



A closeup of Mr. McGraw's college boy pitcher.





The only image of a single baseball player, Hall of Famer Joe McGinnity.




The New York Americans.





A closeup of Cy Young, from The Champions.

Frank, my best guess is October or November 1904. The NY Americans image is labeled 1904 and has a 1904 copyright date on it. Unless I missed something, I've pretty much eliminated all other issues in 1904.

Call me at 512-231-9594 (or send your number and I will be happy to call you) to discuss an article about the Burr McIntosh baseball images.

Yes, Steve, that guy with the dark sweater and his right arm across the shoulders of the guy next to him, that is Cy Young. The guy to the left of Mathewson is George Van Haltren; he's sporting a mustache; and he'd be a good addition to the Hall of Fame.

Lyman, I'll give you a call in a day or two.

Here's the other Yale image.

One thing I like about that Yale team above is that 'junior' with the 1906 sweater on the end at the right.


Here's Princeton.





And the 1904 Pennsylvania team.




And the 1905 Pennsylvania team.

I'm pretty sure that guy is not Cy Young (that's Long Tom Doran who he has his arm around). It's probably Duke Farrell sans mustache:

Mark, you're breaking my heart!

So if that isn't Cy Young, do you reckon he's in there, or not. What about Jimmy Collins, is he there?

Sorry Frank . A hi-res scan is coming way way within a few days. I'll post ID's as best as I can tell when I get it.
