1910s Cleveland Naps Scout Tom Daly

Sometimes its better to be lucky than good! I picked up this photo of a mystery Cleveland Naps player named "Daly." The photo has a Leader Sports Reference Department stamp from June 16, 1913.

Unfortunately no such player was on the roster in 1913. The man in the photo bore a striking resemblance to the 19th century player "Tom Daly," but he wrapped up his baseball playing career in 1903, and never played with the Naps.

Upon receipt I started digging into old articles on Newspapers.com, and also compared Cleveland uniforms to the pic. This particular uniform with the blue collar was worn in 1910 and 1912. When I expanded my search back to 1910, I was able to figure out the mystery player - Tom Daly!

Tom Daly was hired to scout for the Naps in 1910. A few articles and photos from this time period made his connection to the team clear. Happy to know who I've got now!
