Default Bring out your Zeenuts!

Posted By: DMcD

This image of the 1928 San Francisco Seals Team Photo was taken from a glass negative which I won from Lelands a few months ago. I was hoping I could get some help to identify some of the players. I have appended a team roster which I got from MiLB.com ( http://tinyurl.com/3s4l3e ). So far I have been able to identify with varying degrees of certainty Roy Johnson (1st row, left), Gus Suhr (1st row, 3rd from left), Ping Bodie (1st row,4th from right), Frank Crosetti (1st row, 2nd from right), Babe Pinelli (2nd row, center), Dutch Reuther (3rd row, 2nd from left), Smead Jolley (3rd row, 4th from right), Earl Averill (3rd row, 2nd from right). You can get a better look at a much larger picture at my photo site ( http://tinyurl.com/52xkfv password=aloha). Thanks for any help.





Um. Wow. Vintage cards, scantily-clad Dutch people, uku-zillion penguins, authentic Polynesian maidens, spam musubi and more at . .

Roger Nisly from the Non-Sports Forum was kind enough to send me a couple of dozen images of Seals players from the late twenties and I have been able to identify around 2/3rds of the players in my photo, some more definite than others. This is what I have come up with so far:

Top: Andy Vargas, Dutch Reuther, Ike Caveney, Walter Mails, Nick Williams (mgr.), Unk., Smead Jolley, Elmer Jacobs, Earl Averill, Unk.
Middle: Jerry Donovan, Joe Sprinz (?), Unk., Unk., Babe Pinelli, Unk., Unk., Buckshot May (?), Frank Welch (?)
Bottom: Roy Johnson, Hal Rhyne (?), Gus Suhr, Unk., Ping Bodie, Unk., Frank Crosetti, Unk.

Somewhere in this photo are Solly Mishkin and Dick Moudy and Ollie Mitchell. Maybe one of you guys can spot 'em. Don't be shy. If you have Zeenuts and, even mo' bettah, Exhibits of Sprinz, Rhyne, Welch, Moudy, Mitchell, Jones, Walters, Ferguson, please post them.

Progress has been slow but it has been interesting in that I've picked up little tidbits about the players. For instance, in 1939 catcher Joe Sprinz attempted to catch a baseball dropped from a blimp at 1200 feet altitude, caught a concussion and four lost teeth instead. Buckshot May's entire ML career consisted of one inning with the Pirates in 1924 in which he faced five batters, gave up no runs, two hits, struck out one and was back pumping gas the next day. Ike Caveney took over the helm of the Seals in 1931 and was Joe DiMaggio's first manager.

I tried but the Mishkin card I have is too vague a photo to make an ID.

Thank you, Steve. You nailed Caveney. Adam, "vague" is the operative term here. It's a challenge to match up beat-up Zeenut images with the guys in my photo. They all start looking like each other after a while. Hopefully by the process of elimination Mishkin will reveal himself.

Here are Sprinz and Rhyne. Maybe someone has a better idea which ones they are.
