Can you find Jeff Tesreau?

Well, this should answer your question, from the 1910 Spalding Guide, so this is the 1909 Shreveport team...


Sounds like an honest mistake, they may have just seen Tesreau on the Baseball-Reference page and made the assumption. They were one year off on the photo.

The minus to the photo is no Tesreau, but it does have Bob Harmon (T205 variation fame), Al Klawitter (PCL), Carlos Smith (T206 SL), Elmer Reiger (PCL fame), Rube Gardner (PCL), etc. The 1909 installment was the better team but if Tesreau is who you are looking for then no dice.

Thanks, guys, for your opinions and the detective work. I had emailed the seller a week or so ago and asked which one was Tesreau. He told me it was the guy lying down on the left. I didn't think that was correct which is why I wanted to run it by the Board. I am not questioning the seller's honesty but in light of the "impeccable reputation blah blah" boilerplate on all his listings his answer to me was bullshit.

Edited to add: Nice run of Zeenuts, Rhett.
