Thank you for the Rufe Clarke colorization.

This image of Arnie Stone has been extracted from the 1924 Pirates team photo.

I can't get a decent cleanup with this one. Do you have a link to the original team photo before the image was cropped and enlarged? I may be able to get something usable out of that.

I know Shoemaker's been colorized before, but is it possible to do this nice front-facing one?

Charles Landis Shoemaker colorized with the 1961 Kansas City Athletics. This is a second go-round colorization for Shoemaker for me. If interested, my previous colorization can be found here. Always glad to update with an improved source image. I am presenting it here with colorization assist from Palette.fm in images with and without ai upgrade from Pica.

Two options here. First what I could squeeze out of the group shot. The second comes from the image as seen at baseball reference. I think that will be a more accurate representation of the facial features but I can colorize either. Let me know your preference.

I agree that the B-R image is a much more accurate representation of Stone's appearance. The other image is definitely from 1924 and the B-R image could be either 23 or 24. I have played around with the 24 image but still am not happy with the outcome. I believe as the B-R image is a much more accurate representation it is a much stronger candidate for colorization.

Jersey's kind of a mess but the face came out o.k. I think.

The original was a good find and was doable in the game...
However - what you, KB, Ctrane, and others have done with the updates really enhances our Game - tremendously!!
Many Thanks!!

Yup, very good outcome in respect of the face, thank you.

I believe the pinstripes were dropped for 1924. Do you want me to "suppress" those in the colorization to make it consistent with that year?

Thanks for pointing out my error in dating the image which the cap design clearly indicates that it originates from 1923. I would prefer to keep the image consistent with the date rather than a specified year.

In it's place I suggest a 1924 image of Hod Ford with the Philadelphia Phillies. Ford spent just 1 year with the Phillies and was their starting second-baseman in 1924.

A prominent second-baseman over a Major League career that spanned 15 years all spent in the National League. With contemporaries such as Hornsby and Frisch much of it went relatively unnoticed. His Major League career both started and finished with the Braves.
