				Danny Green  1898
			 
			
			I love the clarity of the Carl Horner photographs.  Pictured here is Green, who was a pretty decent OF for the White Sox, in 1902.

				Bob Wood  1898
			 
			
			Here's Wood who was the first starting catcher in Cleveland Indians history.  This one is from 1902, so they were techinically called the Bronchos at this point.

				Monte Beville  1903
			 
			
			Beville was one of the first starting catchers in Yankees history.  He wasn't terribly good.  This is from 1903, again from Carl Horner's studio.

				Snake Wiltse  1901
			 
			
			Lifetime .278 hitter, lifetime 4.59 ERA...and they still decided to utilize Wiltse as a pitcher.  Good managing decision.  Here he is with the 1902 A's before they shipped him off to the Baltimore Orioles.
