Hey, so some fun news - I was interviewed by Zack Meisel about finally finding a photo of Shorty Gallagher. It's primarily about Randy Kulas and his persistence in trying to find photos of every Cleveland AL player in their history and Shorty was the last one left. Article does a good job of highlighting this strange obsession we all share.

Dorsey Riddlemoser
This photo was randomly placed by Dorsey Riddlemoser's gravestone one day months ago. Perhaps it may provide a new shot of him if someone can properly find him in here. BR lists his final pro game in the minors as being in 1903 so I think this team was likely independent/semipro or something.

Dorsey Riddlemoser
The photo below comes from the Richmond Times of March 14, 1906. In comparing this with the Frederick team photo above, it's my opinion that Riddlemoser is the sixth player from the left in the team photo. Anyone have any different thoughts?

Here's Riddlemoser, player #6, top row, trying out for the 1906 Richmond Lawmakers, from the 4/26/1906 Richmond Times.

I can't find Riddlemoser name on the 1909 Frederick baseball team in the newspapers. List of players I found below, including the photo of the team's star pitcher, Charley Miller. |

Here is a picture of the photo on the grave. Someone on Facebook said they think he is the guy second from the left and zoomed in on him. I have no idea though. I have no idea who put it there or if it's still there since I don't live near there. It would be really random to place a random unrelated picture there unless maybe he was with the team at one point and they just put a picture from the wrong year there by mistake or something.

Looks like the guy they thought was him is the second one in the bottom row of that picture or maybe the second to last in the top row. I don't think it's Riddlemoser.
