Funny about the jai alai since it has to be played right-handed.

Are you suggesting John McGraw is the guy in the front row at far right? Not much of a resemblance there, but maybe it's just the angle of the photograph or something? Can you post other pictures of him from these games to use as a comparison? Hopefully, I'm wrong.

Not Babe Ruth here, but Ty Cobb when he played in Cuba at Almendares park back in 1910. I think the Tigers played around 10 exhibition games there and Cobb came in to play in 3 or 4 of them.

Jollyelm, you say that the one on the far right does not believe he is John McGraw, I will tell you that he played in Cuba in 1891, in 1911 he brought the New York Giants team to Cuba, and over many years he did the same, in 1920 with Babe Ruth, later he came almost every year due to business in Cuba, there is a lot to write about him, I show how he asked me for photos of John McGraw, the 1st one I already published and you have doubts, the 2nd of him and look at the resemblance, the 3rd is from 1911 at Almendares Park, there was a big discussion and the police had to intervene, what happened in that game is a very interesting story, in that photo you will see a red arrow that I put above his head.

After the season, Evers agreed to take a team consisting mostly of Giants players to Cuba for a winter barnstorming trip. According to New York newspaper accounts in the fall of 1920, McGraw joined the team sometime after they had arrived and begun playing. The photo may have been taken before he got there.
