Marty O'Toole
I have long been confused by the image of O'Toole often used, particularly on Baseball-Reference as it does not seem to be representative of other images of Marty O'Toole. In an attempt to resolve this issue I wanted to see if it was possible to find the source of this image.
The image is shown in the Harwell collection, originally being published in the Sporting News, and has been misleading and lead to O'Toole being attached to the Kelly image (on the right as we look) and vice versa.
Identification as O'Toole as the player on the left as we look at it would be consistent with other images O'Toole. Kelly being the player on the right as we look at it. So the image of O'Toole on B-R is actually Billy Kelly.
Somewhat ironic given the above problem in confusing O'Toole with another Kelly.
