Could it be George Browne?
I'm looking at other pictures and it's probably not. Last edited by barrysloate; 12-13-2010 at 04:18 PM.

Thanks Bob. Doesn't look like him. I checked both my 1906 and 1907 Spalding Guides without finding a match.

Could it be Eddie Grant?
His stats say he was out of the majors for 1906 season (with Jersey City, I believe), but at least one bio I've read says that after his days with the Phillies he went to the Giants "again" where he finished his career. That was much later than the 1906 season, but the reference to a second stay in New York might mean the first was during 1906 (try-out? Spring Training?) The resemblence is uncanny.

I'm pretty sure it's not Ames or McGann, and out of those two I mentioned before, I thought it could be Henry Mathewson.
But, Ray's mention of Eddie Grant is a very interesting one. In terms of a likeness, I think he's right - it's pretty spot on. I seem to be having trouble tracking down a consistent career line though. In whatever information I'm finding online, they're a lot of mentions of his stint in the eastern league that year, as well as his play with the Phils in '07. That, of course, doesn't mean that those are the absolute facts. The pictured player is a right-hander, and Eddie was indeed that. And I guess it means that those pictured aren't just the Giants pitchers? I'll see if I can dig up some spring training info for the '06 team...
