Al K. Smith 1926 vs. Al J. Smith 1934
The al_smith_1926.jpg image in the pitchers pack is a lower-res version of the attached photo. I have also attached a 1926 Giants uniform image from the Baseball Hall of Fame Dressed to the Nines exhibit.
The jersey style in the pitchers pack photo was not used by the Giants until 1933, therefore could not be Al K. Smith (1926), who was out of organized baseball after the 1928 season. The photo actually shows Al J. Smith (1934), who pitched for the Giants from 1934-37, and wore this jersey style in 1934-35, with the sock style most likely pointing to a 1935 photo date.
Does anyone have a Smith (1926) image to replace this one?
