1937 appears to me as a more likely date for the image.

You're absolutely correct, Merkle.
For those who are unfamiliar with forum titles and identification, the preferred title structure in this forum begins with the B-R.com/SABR player name and debut year. Personally I'll go a step beyond and include a middle initial or matrilineal name for those players who share the same first/last name. In all cases except for the
Lee King 1916s, this first name + initial + last name + debut combination forms a complete player ID. The player ID is sometimes followed by a post description, which may include an acronym like UIN (Pegasus's
Uniforms I Need) or abbreviations like UNI (a photo of the player in that uniform is not included in the Pegasus Batters/Pitchers pack but the player/uniform combination is not listed in the UIN list) or Alt Uni (a photo of the player in that uniform is already included in the Pegasus packs, but the posted image is an upgrade or alternate).
If you look at the file name of the posted Jensen image you'll see that it is identified as a 1937 photo.
