Great pick-ups!

Brian: Just looked him up: May be "Wild Bill" Donovan from the 1908 Detroit Free Press Tigers postcard. Born Oct 13, 1876, died Dec 9, 1923.
Right-handed pitcher played for the Washington Senators (1898), Brooklyn Superbas (1899–1902), Detroit Tigers (1903–12; 1918), and New York Yankees (1915–16).

Bill,
Thank you for the post and your kind words. The player is "Wild Bill" Donovan. The back of the postcard states Wolverine News. Here is a post, albeit a horizontal scan.
