Vean Gregg and Lore Bader are in the photo. Gregg pitched for Boston in 1916 and was sent to the minors for the 1917 season. Lore Bader was with the Red Sox during spring training in 1916, but was also sent to the minor leagues, and did not play for the major league team until 1917. Most importantly, Bill Carrigan is in the photo. He had managed the team in 1916, and then retired after the World Series. He was not with the team in the spring of 1917, so that almost certainly dates this photo to 1916.

Thank you.
