Thanks to Sal1199 for colorizing the McGinnity photo.
TNFOTO - I was looking for an image of Jimmy Williams with the Orioles, and found the one you posted here some years ago (it also pops up in a google search). I also found an image on Google that is the identical photo, but with "NY" on his jersey (attached is a collage of 1903 Highlander photos with the Williams photo in question - I had a larger version of this image and can confirm that, but for the NY, they are identical).

My question is (and I apologize if this was previously resolved here somewhere) which photo is the original - the one with or without the NY? Someone some time ago apparently added the NY or removed it, and either way did a very convincing job.

Thanks!
