Hervey McClellan commenced his Major League career in 1919 with one of the most publicised teams in baseball history. He was not involved in post season play that year and consequentially his White Sox career continued uninterrupted until his final Major League season which was 1924. Was the starting shortstop in 1923 but in the remaining seasons was a back-up infielder. This image is of him in his final year with the 1924 White Sox.

Magnificent colorization of McClellan, thank you so much.

Pitching participant in perhaps the most amazing pitching duel in baseball history. Two 28 year olds Joe Oeschger of the Braves and Leon Cadore of the Dodgers battled for all 26 innings in an uncompleted game.

In the fifth inning the Dodgers took a 1-0 lead but the Braves equalised in the sixth inning and then no more scoring. At one point Oeschger retired 18 straight and Cadore 15 straight. Braves second-baseman Charlie Pick emerged from the encounter with the dubious distinction of going 0 for 11.

Approaching 4 hours from the commencement of the game, dark clouds and mist presented batters with a severe problem and the game was called. Oeschger won 20 games the following season but Cadore who battled more stressful situations stated that his arm was never the same.

Here is an image of Cadore with the 1924 Giants.

This was my attempt to enhance the face on Bill Tobin. Got annoyed with the ear not wanting to fix. I was also wondering if there could be a fake made of him in a Worcester Ruby Legs uniform too since he split 1880 with Troy and Worcester.

Nice enhancement.

There has been considerable debate in respect of the identifications of the players in the 1880 Troy team photo.

Confirmed identifications for images of Bill Tobin are attached which question the location of Tobin as top left in the team photo. These are attached.

Alternate identifications for the player top left are Ed Cogswell and Tim Keefe.

Dar (Daryl) Smith played briefly for the 1990 Royals. I found this nice front-facing photo of him on ebay and was hoping a good colorization could be made of it.

My understanding is that the photo is the 1881 Troy team due to the presence of Hankinson. I also remember reading Mark Fimoff had ruled out Keefe being pictured. For my professional opinion, I believe that Cogswell is the player on the far left.

Cogswell is only listed as being 5'8 though. The player on the far left is the tallest one of any of them, and looks to be slightly taller than Ewing who was 5'10. I'm not sure about the nose comparison to Cogswell either as they look a bit different but it could also just be the angle. Tobin's height and weight are unknown so we don't have anything for comparison. I had seen this same player misidentified as Buttercup Dickerson a lot too which is clearly not true. Tobin also spent the second half of 1880 with Troy so it's possible he could have left the team after this photo was taken in 1881, as that would also need to be the case for Cogswell too since he was only with them in 1880.

Interesting discussion of Troy players. I’ve long thought the colorized player above was Buttercup Dickinson. It seems that is incorrect.

2 images of Buttercup Dickerson are attached.

This one was also said to be Dickerson in the team photo

Yes, good point about Ed Cogswell not representing the Trojans in 1881. This, however, increases the likelihood that the team photo was taken in Spring Training 1881. Height listings in B-R should not be taken as 100% accurate, like image identification.

Here is a colorized image of the team photo. The player previously identified as Dickerson is wrong, the player is Hall of Famer Mickey Welch.

Top Row

Cogswell, Cassidy, Evans, Ewing

Middle Row

Gillespie, Hankinson, Ferguson, Caskin, Connor

Ground

Welch, Holbert

One other option for the player on the far left is Mike Lawlor, who briefly played for Troy in 1880 and was a native of the city. He was at least 6'0" tall and was likely available to the team when this photograph was taken.

I like the Lawlor theory since that would seem to make sense if he was there around that time and was 6 feet tall. This player looks to be between 5'10 1/2 to 6'0 if I had to guess. However I don't think there are any verified images of Lawlor to compare, once again complicating things.
