So... what's the verdict on the Jake Smith - left or right photo?

Great updates on the Hughson and Schnell !!

cinemaodyssey · 08-06-2021, 05:53 PM

The left is the Remini enhanced image that more clearly defines what is pictured on the right. Also, the 1881 Troy team photo was heavily doctored over the years so the fact that Evans came out so well was shocking to me.
Thanks for the positive feedback!

Jabez54 · 08-06-2021, 07:36 PM

Oops... I meant regarding to Jake J. Smith... which is the real Jake - L or R...

Yes, I love how you are able to utilize the Remini treatment on Jake Evans which has improved tremendously!

cinemaodyssey · 08-06-2021, 08:34 PM

My apologies for misreading that. Smith is definitely pictured on the right. The left, while it possibly could be him, is of dubious origin.

Jake played for the 1912 Coal Valley baseball team. Team photo from August 4th, 1912 Pittsburgh Press and the 8-17-1912 box score. Jake is the 1st player.

Many thanks, CO!

I just love how you, tnfoto, Dto7,and Cusick (as well as the others) collaborated on the authenticity of each player and photo... really educational... many thanks, mates, for creating the most up to date players photos for our baseball database...

The photo in Dto7: Sheesh... What a big strapping lad he was!! Head and shoulder above the rest!! Great photo!

Cusick · 08-07-2021, 08:24 AM

Just adding my thanks to cinemaodyssey and Dto7 for their Jake Smith images. Hugely helpful.

The photo at Baseball-Reference is of Tony Smith and the photo I found is from the 1911 Toronto Maple Leafs of the Eastern League and is on page 252 of the 1912 Reach Guide.

Jabez54 · 08-07-2021, 07:01 PM

The "Official" Jake J Smith is the right face photo that cinemaodyssey had found is correct, right?

You, mates, rocks!!

Great work, Dto7! I was convinced this wasn't Jake Smith, and now it is confirmed.

As to the image I'm using for the Facepack, I think the one I submitted is a little easier to discern the facial features.

cinemaodyssey · 08-07-2021, 08:46 PM

Jacob's OYW card is given the Remini treatment with decent results.

cinemaodyssey · 08-09-2021, 02:59 PM

Facepack upgrade, pictured at the beginning of the 1918 season with Indianapolis. A short time later, Boston called him up as a 30 year old rookie. Photo was printed in the April 26th, 1918 edition of The Indianapolis News.
The previous Facepack image features Northrop nearly 10 years earlier while in college.

cinemaodyssey · 08-09-2021, 03:11 PM

Knodell gets the Remini treatment, with this photo being extracted from the 1877 London Tecumsehs team portrait.

rrb77 · 08-10-2021, 02:35 PM

1906-07 NY Giants, Christy's brother...Twitter user The Skimmers.

Jabez54 · 08-10-2021, 07:13 PM

Wow!!
What a great find!!
The hidden Mathewson! Had to be really tough to follow his older brother's footsteps...

cinemaodyssey · 08-11-2021, 03:16 PM

Bella's 1959 Topps card gets the Remini treatment. Not perfect but turned out pretty well.

cinemaodyssey · 08-11-2021, 03:37 PM

As I have yet to see any Angels photos of Voss come out of the Topps Vault, here's a Remini enhanced version of his 1970 card.

cinemaodyssey · 08-12-2021, 04:01 PM

Does anyone have a reference for the attached newspaper image of James Harris? I couldn't find anything in my searches and am just trying to verify his identity.

I don't have any source detail for that image, but it was shared here without source detail in 2007 by UKBaseballfan.

That image also appears in a story about Frank Harris which is linked from Harris's BR Bullpen page. The image in the Baseball History Daily story is in the style of NY Clipper player portraits, but the story doesn't list the image source and I don't have my copy of the Clipper biographies in front of me right now to confirm.

Thanks, that's very helpful. It makes me nervous when they don't even have the correct name. That article goes through quite a few details, including how and when he died, whereas Baseball Reference has none of that. I wonder if we have the right guy...
