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...

Definately NOT Leon "Red" Ames

Matty's brother.

This looks much more like the guy in the photo than the first shot posted of Mathewson's brother. Mystery solved.
