Tris Speaker's earliest Red Sox photo?
A cool item in last night's Love of The Game auction. 1908 Red Sox. They didn't mention in the description but im pretty sure that's Tris Speaker in the back row left of Harry Lord and right of Doc Gessler. If so, it would be possibly the earliest major league photo of Speaker. Since Deacon Mcguire and Bob Unglaub both left the Sox mid season, I can deduce this is Spring Training. Speaker famously paid his own way to spring training and wasn't picked up by the Red Sox until September. I was the underbidder unfortunately. Probably a very good deal. What are your thoughts?

Allow me to chime in here… I wrote the description for this photo and IMO the player in question is likely Frank LaPorte:

Thanks Andrew, I tried calling but not sure I have your current number. ANyways I never would have though that was Frank Laporte but the picture you included certainly makes me think so now as the chin and ear match very well!
