is anyone seeing what I may be in this photo? No, I do not see Joe Jackson. Just cutting that out of the conversation before it even starts.

LOL. I have to admit I was not looking there, but that now adds to the value of the photo for me. I meant something above the waist, say in facial recognition.

If you squint really hard and close your good eye it looks like a young Walter Johnson to me.

What is the shadow of Thurman Munson doing in the left of the image? I've stick-drawn where the "ghost image" is. Your eyes may vary...

Tom,

When I picked up this cabinet today I thought the same thing. So, to a point I am in agreement with you, but I think it also resembles another New York pitcher (the other "New York" franchise) and a guy who pitched for the Pirates prior to New York.

The first name that came to my mind was "Dummy" Taylor.

I can assure you it's not WJ., Please tell who you think it is.

I have my guess, although it's in all likelyhood not him. His intials are J.C.

He must mean Jack Chesbro who pitched for Pitt and NY.

Looks like a young Mordecai Brown to me. Pre-accident of course.

My first thought was also Jack Chesbro.

If it helps, I can only find two towns named Cortland, one in New York, and one in Ohio; so it appears that the photo was taken in Cortland, Ohio.
