Tom Hughes? Vernon Tigers? Help with ID
 
2 Attachment(s)
This photo is noted on reverse as Tom Hughes. The uni looks like it could be PCL Vernon Tigers but could not find reference to Tom Hughes on that team. Maybe not Vernon? Maybe not Hughes? Help!

I don’t know if he played for the Vernon Tigers, but that player looks almost exactly like Ernie Shore. Hope so, he was a pretty good pitcher, and was credited with a no hitter for awhile.

Ernie Shore played for Vernon in 1921. That syncs with the uniform and the photo sure looks like him!

Looks like 1921 Vernon caught a lot of Yankee castoffs. In addition to Shore listed on roster (but no stats) the roster included former NYAL Ray French, Truck Hannah, Hugh High, Ham Hyatt, Slim Love, Bob McGraw, Pete Schneider & Walt Smallwood!

Excellent. That is him then. If you don’t know about his game in relief of Babe Ruth, you will be amazed.

That is definitely Ernie Shore!
Thomas L. Hughes did play in the PCL though...
