Kid Gleason vs. Bill Gleason
The Facepack (and Baseball Reference) use the image on the left as depicting Bill Gleason, who pitched in 1 game for the 1890 Cleveland team of the Players League. The picture comes from the 1887 Williamsport team. The image on the right is Gleason with the Philadelphia Quakers in 1888.
To my eye they are the same person, namely Kid Gleason. I don't see Bill Gleason on the Missing Players list so perhaps this is an oversight.
