I am also doubtful that McGraw is in the photo. Johnny Evers, who was a coach for the Giants at that time, is second from right in the bottom row. The biography of Evers titled "Johnny Evers - A Baseball Life" states:
After the season, Evers agreed to take a team consisting mostly of Giants players to Cuba for a winter barnstorming trip.
According to New York newspaper accounts in the fall of 1920, McGraw joined the team sometime after they had arrived and begun playing. The photo may have been taken before he got there.
