The problem with that is he is wearing the 1923 uniform so as I take the viewpoint that uniforms run from opening day to opening day not by chronological year, I would assign that image as representative of 1923. That said that the option from the standing Bradenton team photo where Dyer is on the extreme left may well give better results for 1923.

Having seen some of the superb outcomes you have obtained from images extracted from team photos, how about doing the same for Dyer, if possible, from the 1924 St. Louis Cardinals team photo, again from the same page, where he is standing in the top row second from left. Incidentally is that the earliest, or indeed first, team photo that exists where players uniform numbers are clearly visible?

I had been kicking this one around as well. I ran the image through my 2 upscalers one after another and then used Palette to colorize. The upscalers read glasses from the image and rendered a rather fine looking pair of spectacles.

Good call. Unlike the other one, this one clearly looks like Dyer. Unfortunately, the cap stripes were washed out to the point of invisibility.

AI programmers must be sharing some code. I saw the same thing on the Topaz apps when I bumped up the regenerative settings to try to get a better face.

:p

Thanks to both of you for your efforts and most interesting outcomes.

Harper spilt the 1924 season between the Reds and the Philadelphia Phillies. An image of him with the Reds has been previously colorized, here he is with the Phillies.

Howie Gorman 1937

Howard Paul Gorman upscaled and colorized with the Philadelphia Phillies. Deepnostalgia and kolorize.cc were used

Walter Stephenson 1935

Walter McQueen "Taezan" Stephenson upscaled and colorized with the Philadelphia Phillies. Thanks go to deepnostalgia and kolorize.cc

Hank Behrman - ca1946

From b&w offered by "Photos of Sports Heroes" on ebay.

Assist from palette.fm.

John T. Fox colorized from an image shared by dto7 with upscaling from deepnostalgia.
Is this "shag" shaughnessy on the right?

pallette.fm, et al.

Cap logo obviously pasted on...couldn't quite get a natural look on that.
