I think in this case it’s definitively Ruth but I see the wisdom in not naming a player not named on the card. In the past there was confusion over an image of Rube Marquard that had been identified as Ruth for a long time in the hobby. I can’t remember the issue but it was a silhouette of an unnamed lefty. The consensus was Ruth being pictured until the original Marquard photo popped up.
Ah it was the 1917 Youth’s Companion stamp.
