Possible other candidate for Unknown # 2
Mark and Scott,
Not meaning to muddy the waters on Unknown # 2, but I believe that another candidate for this gent would be AP "Lefty" Leifield.
Here is a signed vintage newspaper cut of Lefty who was absolutely a member of this 1905 Pirates team. Lefty Leifield threw an unofficial no-hitter that was called after 6 innings (ran out of daylight?) in 1906. Lefty is listed at 6'1" and 175 lbs., which is very much the build that Unknown mystery man # 2 has.
What do you both think about this comparison?
Thanks!
