Absolutely amazing enhancement, thank you.
Attached is a 1924 image of Butch Henline with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Henline made his debut in 1921 playing in 34 games, one with the Giants the remainder with the Phillies. From 1922 through 1926 he was the Phillies starting catcher with the exception of 1925 when Jimmie Wilson undertook that role. In 1927 he spent the first of 3 seasons with Brooklyn and then 2 with the White Sox all in a back-up role. Usually was eighth in the batting order but hit over .300 in 1922,1923 & 1925. His best year was maybe 1923 when he batted .324 with an on-base percentage of over .400. From a power perspective possibly 1922 was his best year reaching double figures in home runs and slugging .479, a slugging percentage he also reached in 1925.
