Mel Wright 1954 (1954-55 Cardinals)
 

Here are a couple of options.

Now you're invoking the Vulcan mind meld. :lol: I have literally been working on Mel Wright (a different photo) this evening. I'm close enough that I'll finish it and post but I may also do your righthand photo as it is probably better.

Gimp
 

That is sometimes dependent on the image of course, but yes. In this case, I cloned some of the area around the Astros logo on the cap until it was just blank and then colored it Cubs blue. Then cut, paste, and resized the Cubs logo. Same with the uniform. I use it to tweak colors when the ai colorizers don't get it right too.

Mel Wright
 

O.K., this is the one I was working on when I saw your post.

John Kerr 1923
 

Absolutely amazing, thank you.

Here is a 1924 image of John Kerr in his sophomore season with the Detroit Tigers.

Over the course of his career he established himself mainly as a second-baseman but in his 2 year spell with the Tigers it was a position he did not play in his combined 36 appearances.

Did not return to the Majors until 1929 and he established himself as the Chicago White Sox starting second-baseman, as he was in 1931. The following 3 years he played as a back-up infielder with the Washington Senators.

Earl McNeely 1924
 

Exceptional image of Kerr, thank you!

Here is an image of Earl McNeely who experienced his rookie year as a World Series champion with the 1924 Washington Senators. He was back-up centre-fielder to Nemo Leibold, with the other 2 outfielder positions manned by Hall Of Famers, Rice and Goslin. Appearing in 43 games he batted .330.

Elevated to the starting centre-fielder in 1925 he appeared in 122 games. Tris Speaker played centre-field for the Senators in 1927 and McNeely was a back-up outfielder to now 3 Hall Of Famers. He joined the Browns in 1928 and became their starting right-fielder, usually batting 7th. Spent 3 more seasons with the Browns all in a back-up role.

i would like the one on the left

I usually prefer palette.fm for coloring but for this one, I like the kolorize.cc a little better.

Carl Mays 1915
 

I can see why! Just superb.

A 1924 image of Carl Mays with the Cincinnati Reds. The first of his 5 seasons with them before ending a 15 year Major League career with the 1929 New York Giants.

Participant in Major League baseball's most tragic incident. Possibly deprived him of Hall Of Fame status.

Made his Major League debut with the 1915 Boston Red Sox and immediately posted eye catching figures. Appeared in 38 games and led the League in both Games Finished and Saves. A right handed pitcher who batted left. It was as a starting pitcher, however, that he excelled in his career. Commencing that role in the 1916 season he lowered his ERA from 2.60 to 2.39, winning 18 games. 1917 was the first of 5 seasons where he won 20 or more games, lowering his ERA even further to 1.74, but for the only time in his career led the League with 14 batters hit by pitch. in 1918 he led the League in both Complete Games (30) and Shutouts (8) with a 2.21 ERA and a 21 game winning season. After a disappointing start to the 1919 season joined the Yankees and turned round his year's record from 5-11 to 9-3 for the remainder of the season, accompanied by a 1.65 ERA.

In 1920 the year that he threw the pitch, in August, that resulted in a fatal injury to the Indians shortstop Ray Chapman, he posted a then career high of 26 wins and a League leading 6 shutouts but his ERA for the first time rose to over 3.00. The following year he threw a career high of Innings Pitched over 336, accompanied by a career high of 27 wins. In that year he also led the League in Wins, Winning Percentage, Saves, Games and Innings. For the first time in 1922 he posted a losing record. 1923 was his final season with the Yankees as his ERA sky rocketed to 6.30, pitching just 81 innings.

He joined the Reds in 1924 for the first of his 5 seasons with them and that season posted his final 20 game winning season. In 1926 gained MVP consideration for the only time in his career as he led the League in Complete Games. In 1929 with the Giants he appeared in 37 games mainly in relief.

His career record in over 3000 innings was 207-126 with a 2.92 ERA. Completed 231 of his 325 starts and additionally appeared in 165 other games. Son of a Methodist minister he refused to pitch on a Sunday, as did Christy Mathewson. Nicknamed Sub as a result of his submarine pitching motion. Viewed an exceptionally fielder he was also used as a pinch hitter. His career Batting Average was .268 illuminated by a .343 average in 1921. In his rookie season established a confrontational reputation after a heated incident with Ty Cobb. Enlisted in the army after the end of the 1918 season. Just 5 days later the War was ended following the declaration of an armistice.

Will he primarily be considered a Red Sox pitcher or a Yankees pitcher? Well he won 80 games as a Yankee, 72 with the Red Sox and 49 with the Reds, spending 5 years with each. In terms of Innings Pitched, most with the Red Sox 1105 compared to 1090 with the Yankees.
