Confirmed Correct Player Depicted on Card (IMO)
1. Bodie: glove on correct hand
2. Cobb is correct, but leaning the wrong way as a base runner, which could be returning to a base, career high in steals was 1915 (96!), led league in steals 1915-1917
3. Johnson is correct, pitching (blondish hair and follow through, depicted as grizzled veteran)

4. Groh is correct, hitting
5. Bancroft is correct
6. Hornsby
7. Schalk - Mitt and all
8. Mays – No red and white pin stripes helps in dating the issue, checking the runner (Cobb?)
9. Milan is correct, but unknown what he’s doing
10. Schang is correct but throwing left hand, accurately depicted as catcher. The fact that Schang was a left hand hitter likely explains the mitt on the incorrect hand (along with ignorant artist in knowing handedness in baseball, just knew something was left hand)
11. Rice is correct, and side note: was a pitcher 1915-1916, as was Sisler, with whom Rice's card was blended (to shorten the drawing process?).
12. Bagby - RH pitcher.
