Cinemaodyssey and I did some research on it a while back and the roster matches with the 1884 team. Lots of notes on the club that year. The photo appeared in a 1912 paper and author had details wrong.
Yes, agree name listing is confusing. Clare is front row at least and might be able to use Johnny Bass to orient the rest of players. We have a photo of him I believe. |

I've also found a playing-era image of Ed Halbriter (though not a great one) which shows him as a member of the 1883 Terre Haute team. |

Unfortunately we are not certain that the player in that team photo is Halbriter. I've gone through that team photo numerous times with other photographic experts and can't come to a satisfactory conclusion as to what team this even is.

Halbriter
Here's a picture of him as an older man from the 11-Aug-1936 LA Times for comparison. He is said to have been on the minor league Indianapolis Blues. The player's shirt clearly says 'Blues' in that picture so I'm fairly certain that's where it came from and it's probably him. I couldn't swear to it but it seems highly likely. I must say the ear looks a bit different in the back and it's hard to do a comparison of the nose because its from the side in that pic but the head shape looks similar.

Tully Sparks 1897
More Sparks including an upgrade on his 1902 Boston Americans image.
Sparks with Richmond in 1898, with Milwaukee in 1901, Boston 1902, Philadelphia in 1904 and 1908. Will access to 1902 New York newspapers reveal an image from 1902 showing his stint with the Giants? Last edited by UKBaseballfan; 11-30-2024 at 01:36 AM. |

i meant this image which is on his br bullpen page. I was debating whether or not to replace it with the other one which is on his main BR page since I couldn't find a source for it.

George Hodson
Quote:
From newspaper research, it's evident that Hodson signed again with the Boston NL team in January, 1895. By May, 1895, he was a free agent. I don't know exactly when he was released. I suppose it's possible he could have appeared in an 1895 Boston team composite prior to his release. Last edited by Cusick; 12-04-2024 at 07:06 AM. Reason: Add 2nd paragraph. |

2 or 3 Joe Connolly's?
Can anyone shed any light on this apparent conundrum?
Two separate images have been colorized for a player by the name of Joe Connolly with the 1924 Red Sox. Although they have the same name they do appear to be different individuals. The first player has been identified as Joe H. Connolly. A third image of Joe Connolly with Cleveland appears to match the second image of Joe Connolly. In the third, Cleveland, image the player is identified as Joe G. Connolly. Neither of these 2 players appear to be Joe F. Connolly who played a few years earlier with the Boston Braves. |
