It does bear a slight resemblance to Ferrell, but I think Sisler is more likely. Ferrell's last game was in September 1947, and The Babe died in August 1948. Sisler's last game was in 1930. Babe was pretty emaciated towards the end of his life, so I highly doubt the picture is from 1948. If it was any earlier than that, Ferrell would've still been an active player, so why would he have been in this photo with the all-time greats, especially since he is a "borderline" HOFer as it is.
