Thanks, catspaj. Keep in mind that the photo print I snapped a picture of shows the guy as a lefty. I was simply guessing that the print may have been made backwards. Now that I see him as a righty, I'm thinking maybe he really is a lefty. The "M" looks weird in the "righty" view.

I'm thinking he's a righty.

Typically, the team emblem is positioned over the left breast, and the "M" looks ok to me...

Welcome to the site, Smokey.

I'm not sure how much you've searched for these kinds of images. 9 times out of 10, these generic studio photos are very hard to track down any information on. If there is nothing written on the back and no studio mount, there's even less to go on. I'm guessing a town team player walked into a photo studio in town and had his photo taken. It was a common practice of the period.

Thanks Jaybird. Have been collecting memorabilia for 45 years, but have never even dabbled in photos, so know zero. Hope I haven't wasted people's time. I am aware that the early 1900s were a time with hundreds if not thousands of organized and professional teams, so it makes sense that there may be many, many thousands of these types of photos. Are they worth anything?

Definitely a lefty, unless he's wearing a shirt that was manufactured backwards. Buttons are on the wrong side of the shirt for him to be a righty.

Let me play devils advocate. If the buttons are on the 'wrong' side, has anyone considered that this could be a woman? I can definitely see that possibility. And I don't think I've ever seen a team insignia on the player's right side, only the left. That would be weird.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

I would also say lefty. Notice how the 'M' slants to the right when he is pictured as a lefty. This would be the natural slant of a letter in a right handed world.
