Odd, Steve. Those two were definitely taken at the same time. Same fence, same trees in the background, etc.
I just don't see how that same group of guys from the Boston team would have been together in 1908 and then reunited in 1915 (as noted on the sweater)?
I'm missing something.
Also, if it was 1915, Bowerman would be 47, Dahlen 45, etc. weird.
Just found a news article from 1911 saying that Bowerman was playing for Kansas City at 1B at the age of 48 years old. That makes the baseball reference age off by 5 years. They say he was born in 1968 but the article would make him born in 1863.
