robI'm also guessing that the fellows holding balls in the New York photo are pitchers. I base that on the two at the right that I believe are Canonball Crane and Tim Keefe. So...the guy on the front left may also be a pitcher. Seems that a lot of the 19th century team photos that I have seen have the pitchers holding a ball. Another interesting note - In the Boston photo you might be able to see that Brouthers is sitting on his pipe!
