from SABR, on page 52, he's doing the same in a photo of the Beaneaters and New York, 1886. Maybe he liked to show off his extraordinarily long fingers! It's so nice how he has his other hand on a teammate's shoulder (who's smiling at the attention)!

This book contains literally hundreds of fine photos of 19th century teams, individual players and a few cards as well, starting with the 1848 daguerreotype of six members of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of New York. My edition is about worn out; maybe I can order a new one.
