Or am I just pushing the photo identification a little too far?

Brian, I'm the last person to comment on photo identification, however, when I was looking at these I also found a composite that uses headshots from these that was sold by REA back in 2011 ( https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=19698). The composite itself identifies each player. REA further identifies that Donovan played for Pittsburgh. The thing to note here is that the California tour was not simply Baltimore vs others, but the Baltimore team consisted of a few players that were not from the Baltimore team and likewise some Baltimore players were absent.
