Thanks so much guys. Yea Jason, now that you mention it, I can see that being Evers. She seemed to like Evers, so possibly. I don't know of any card with that pose though, so I'll chalk it up to my grandma's imagination.
Thanks for the kind words David and Barry. Oh, and Rich V, sorry I missed your response before, I love all those southern minor league cards.

Scary close, thanks t206hound. I notice that the art work seems to have a belt buckle on the side, were any players known to wear their belts like that?
Maybe a player that also played stand up bass A lot of guitar players wear their belts like that to avoid scratches.

Thanks Chris, the sharing of this collection and the responses here, make keeping the collection more than worthwhile.

It seems I have seen this picture a few times but never noticed the size of that baseball bat in his hands before. Dang, Is that a fence post or something? That thing is huge!
Well Andrew, in that picture, Evers looks like he might have moonlighted for the Chicago mafia.

I think it was common for players to wear their belt buckle to the side. When sliding, they didn't want any sharp metal objects near vulnerable spots.
Jeremy, can you point me to any game photos with players wearing their belts like that? Thanks.

Here are a couple photos of Cobb & Chase. Both with their belt buckles to the side. If you have a chance, checkout a website called "Baseball Fever" you'll find several interesting photos. I really like your Macon Peach website, by the way.

Wow Jeremy, thanks so much. I just spent some time looking at the "Bill's Ty Cobb Photos" thread and I'm sure I'll spend a great deal more time on that site. I also had a "duh" moment. With the uniforms having a belt loop front dead center, it would really be awkward fastening a buckle in that spot.
