The image on the left (with NY clearly visible on the shirt) shows a player wearing a 1906 uniform, when Griffith pitched in 17 games; he was very much a part of his own pitching staff then. The face has the same strong features as Griffith's; I'm pretty certain that's him. The other photo is not as clear, but still resembles him. Perhaps this collage was made as a gift to Griffith himself, so the images of him in uniform did not need to be identified.
