Jack Webb 1910
I'm trying to identify a player Webb, who pinch hit in one game for the St. Louis Terriers in 1913 (on August 18, 1913, to be exact). The game was in St. Louis, and there was a shortstop name Webb playing for a local club called the Alpen Braus that season. It so happens that there was a team photo of the club published in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat on October 5, 1913, and Webb is identified in the caption.
There was also a minor league player, Jack Webb, from St. Louis, who played for Blytheville in 1910, and he is in a team photo of the club published in the Spalding Guide in 1911.
Without further preamble, here are the two photos - first Jack Webb from Blytheville and the Webb from the Alpen Braus. Neither photo is that great of quality, but is there a feeling that these are the same person or different people?
