Faceless Ball player - Any guesses as to who he is??

Won this photo, but haven't recieved it yet. It was dirt cheap and should be. Thought it might be fun to try and guess the team/player/photo origin etc.

Any clairvoyants out there?

It's a tie between Mark Clear and Mysterious Walker.

That looks like it could be Carl Mays in either 1919 or 1921 in a NYY home uniform. I got excited thinking that perhaps it was in a Boston uniform, but the socks and pinstripes don't match up with the years that he was in Boston.

Count the fingers, it kinda looks like Mordecai Brown.

The Cubs/Whales always had a logo on their jerseys, so it's not Mordecai. The photo looks like a famous shot of Three Finger so I can see how you would guess it was him.

The real challenge is trying to figure out who is holding the bat.

Rec'd it today and it is bigger than I thought. 10 by 6. Close inspection reveals a "P" on the hat. (and he has all 5 fingers on the right hand)happy.gif

I'm going to go with Claude Hendrix, playing for Pittsburgh in 1913. The uniform is close, and I think I've seen that ear somewhere before, most likely on a Hedrix card. I suppose we need someone to come forward with a more complete photo.

As anyone that doesn't know who it is will guess, it's either Joe Jackson, Ty Cobb or Honus Wagner. That's what they say on ebay anyway....
