I also have a copy of another photo of the Truxton town team from this same time period of 1901-1909. Some of the players happen to be in both photos. The gentleman in the New York uniform also appears in this other photo. The team was known as the Truxton Stars in the early 1900's.
Comparing his photo to his earlier ones when he was on the 1881 Truxton Grays and 1890 Olean club tells me this is a match for Bert Kenney. Kenney was often the player-manager for the team after his minor league career finished. McGraw donated some of his old uniforms (Cedar Rapids and Gainsville, for example) to his hometown team as well as New York uniforms. He even paid for Kenney's expenses when he invited him on his World Tour with the Giants.
