Thanks for information in respect of Eiffert and Griesenbach and others in terms of their release. If neither of those 2 catchers is included in the image then it does create an issue in terms of identifying the veteran catcher in the back row.
Really in terms of validating the players it may come to getting a copy of the numeric key in order to establish the identities with complete confidence and I am sure within SABR there most be someone who knows the author of the book referred to previously.

I think it is possible that the man wearing a chest protector could be an umpire. I don't know when umpires started wearing the large protector that is clearly distinct from catchers' gear. (Edited to add: Nope, it's not an umpire. See post #384.)
