'Sorry, I don't have a key. Wilbert Robinson is in the back row, far right. I believe Jimmy Williams is in the back row, third from left. John McGraw is in the middle row, fourth from left. Just to the right of McGraw is Roger Bresnahan, and I believe that just to the left of McGraw is Cy Seymour. It was common in the early 20th century for players to wear their uniform from the previous season during spring training, and Seymour had played for the Giants 1896-1900. Most of his teammates have their Baltimore uniforms, so perhaps Seymour had just joined the Orioles when the photo was taken.
