The Ebay seller said it is from 1935 based on the model of Ford, which if so is 4 years before McCoskey made the majors.

The Ford V-8 team played against a local team from Traverse City, Michigan

I'm 100% convinced that is Barney McCoskey...almost all the rest of those guys were minor leaguers in the mid 1930s...mostly from the Mid Atlantic and Piedmont Leagues.

Well as Jimmy and I always think alike I was able to work a nice deal on 4 Gehrigs. First from 1928,second from 1936 Thirdfrom 1938 and the fourth from 1935. The 1938 photo has a nice caption but hard to read "Lou Gehrig
veterian new york yankee first baseman who will see action with the american league champions in the coming world series. Dated 9/26/38 This would be Lous last world series as he finished 4 for 14 with 4 singles in the series. A sad time for all yankee fans.

thanks mark! finally got lucky

Just a quick question as I was re scaning the 1928 photo for someone I scaned the back also and just noticed that it looked to me that the photo was a 1927 with a 8 put over the 7. Not that it matters to me either way as I love the photo but I was also told that the uniform is from 1927. You can see that the pencil change was done from the original writer. Wanted some input on the uniform being 1927.
