I got sent this link about the Cartwright half plate Daguerrotype in the HOF. It's a bit of a long, dry read but well worth it you are into the history of the game how easy it is to misidentify a person in a photo.

Cartwright photo?

It appears your link is incorrect Jay. The one you have took me to a video game site.

that's a deep and long read...i got started at 1am but my eyes got droopy so i gotta continue on another day. i'm haunted by all the faces. can't wait to read about the family provenance of how this picture was chosen over the rest.

Quite an interesting (and civil) discussion is being had across the street by those involved about that exact article.

Well... it used to be civil. (Still not bad, but getting decidedly less friendly.)

Looks like the photo is of Alexander Cartwright's brother, Benjamin. Bummer for the owner of the picture, who was quite dogmatic in defending his photo. It's interesting how history changes!

I suppose the plaque in Cooperstown should now read:

"Benjamin Cartwright, the brother of the guy who didn't invent baseball."

Seems like AJC's grandson was, ahem, not a very reliable source of information Wink
