Jesse Burkett is in my 1922 panoramic as well, though I'm not 100% sure which one he is. I'll see if I can ID him and post a better picture.

Edit: This Christies auction link will show a good zoom on my pic. Mine actually is trimmed a bit on both ends as well, so this will be a better reference than mine to see all of the players.

This is a Boston Post newspaper article from the day, detailing the Old Timers game and listing all of the players who appeared:
