Denny Lyons?

I've speculated over the years that this might be Denny Lyons, but hate to be 'one of those guys' who tries to 'polish a turd' until it looks like Comiskey.

And as long as I'm dreaming, I wouldn't mind the other guy being the 'doughy catcher' himself.

Well, the Kalamazoo Bats cards actually depict Harry Lyons (not Denny Lyons). These images also misidentified as Denny in the NYPL Spalding collection. See also page 13 in this:

Getting back to your photo - I don't know if the batter is Harry Lyons. Send me a hi-res and I'll try to figure it out.

Thanks Mark. Very interesting - lots of misidentification going on, even back at a time when the facts were seemingly readily available.

I'll email you a hi-res scan - thanks!
