The man in black in the bottom favors Pete Alexander but im not sure. Wilbert Robinson with the B on jersey left of Honus? John McGraw top row 3rd from right?
Bert Humphries 1910-1915 is 4th from left on bottom row
I Figured id drop it here incase anyone wanted it

That does look like Honus Wagner in the center. The photography studio was in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, which is near Pittsburgh, so it is possible that Wagner was in attendance at a game there. The others may be former local players, amateur or minor league. Alexander, Robinson, and McGraw are not among them. Bert Humphries had the first name of Albert, and the name written on the back is Harry Humphries.

They had 2 or 3 other photos that seem to be from the same estate, both with harry and bert humphries. one with both of them in a photo. Harry must have been Berts brother.

Also to note, the man standing beside honus wagner seems to be almost 7 feet tall!

Cabinet of Bert Humphries Chicago 1911-1915
Not a chicago jersey, so maybe a college or highschool since he was from California, PA

1913 Cubs road jerseys (according to Dressedtothenines)

Johnny Evers can be seen second row 3rd position going right to left

Combing through and updating the pictures in the Facepack has yielded many hidden gems. Here are a few players that are in dire need of improved photos:


Clay Roe (1923)
Coonie Blank (1909)
Cy Wright (1916)
Dan McGee (1934)
Dave Hudgens (1983; color if possible)


I appreciate any help!

Looking on newspapers it appears Honus Wagner had a local team call the Honus Wagner Allstars made up of minor leaguers, college players, and locals. I see it appearing thoughout the 1920s in the pittsburgh area papers. He appears to play in the some of the games.
I just find it odd that the older guys are there, possible old friends of honus

From the 1928 Pittsburg Press. Also, Wilbert Robinson and John McGraw are not in the photo.

Unfortunately, this is the best I have of Shad Roe who had a one shot fame (more than most of us here )

Don't know if this is an improvement, but it's from Marc Okkonen's book, BASEBALL MEMORIES 1930-1939.
