Need Photo ID Help

[ZernialFan]

Hi Everyone,

Would appreciate any help on ID of approx. year photo was taken. My grandfather #6 was born in 1887. #7 is my great uncle who is 10 years younger. If he is about 20, then my grandfather is 30 and the picture would be 1917. But it looks later to me. But I do not know age of the uniform or the catcher's mitt showing. Hope someone can give me a better idea. Also the insignia looks like NUA or NAU.......any ideas?

This is a local team that my grandfather played on in Norwood, Glenolden area in Delaware County PA. near Philadelphia. I will list the names of 9 0f the 11 players known in the long shot that a board member may recognize a family member or name. Two players not numbered are unknown.
#1 Mort Sheldrake
#2 Lenard Warner
#3 Bill McCarter
#4 Logan Edwards
#5 Henry Ickes (one of my grandfather's best friends)
#6 Charles Pierce (my grandfather)
#7 Raymond Wilson (my great uncle)
#8 Bob Kneedler
#9 Dave Ford

Thanks for any help,
Charlie

Try running names through ancestry.com

You might get DOB's or where they were living at what time.

I wish my math problems in grade school and middle school were baseball related like this one. Instead I got a lot of, if a train left a station 60 miles away traveling at 50 miles per hour, and b train left a station 40 miles away traveling at 70 mile per hour, at how many miles would the trains intersect?

Thanks Rick and Lou! My wife is on Ancestry and didn't occur to me to tackle from that end. And liked Lou's relating to a school math problem!!

I like the pic, that white house in the background reminds me of the Field of Dreams. Only this one is real.

There was a Bob Kneedler that played in the minors 1911-1912. Found both team photos but he wasn't in the photos maybe because he didn't play enough games.Most likely not the same Bob Kneedler.

I checked all the names at Delaware College in Pa. and found none. Can check high school yearbooks if I knew the high schools they went to.

Is it just me or is the insignia on your great uncle's jersey different from the rest? I'm unsure if that is even relevant. Awesome photo regardless.
