Amos Strunk
Hey I don't know who that is, but this is Amos Strunk.
Lefty - can you give the source and date for your photo? - maybe we can figure out who it is. Thanks. Last edited by bmarlowe; 02-23-2009 at 02:26 AM. |

Re: Amos Strunk
I am familiar with images of Amos Strunk of the Philadelphia Athletics circa 1908-1914. I did not document where I found the photo I posted, but recently I have been downloading some images from baseball-fever.com. Whatever the source, Strunk was identified. I admit, I found the likeness a questionable match to earlier images but felt compelled to post. I appreciate that one reason for this forum is to ferret out the truth so I hope that by posting we may reach that point regarding Strunk, Chicago White Sox.

Missing player to be added to facepack. Thanks again to bmarlowe for identification of the player.
The alleged Strunk is a Corbis photo. Photo taken Mar 25, 1922 in spring training in San Antonio. |

Re: Amos Strunk Photo
Thanks UKBBFan for the quick source ID. I've been researching several sources including Corbis. I thought Corbis would be a reliable source. I agree that the photo is still in question.

Corbis/Strunk
Quote:
One would expect Corbis to be reliable - but they are not. Nor is Getty images. If it doesn't seem right, it probably isn't. Images are sold/licensed to them with incorrect or overblown ID's (like WS games photos that are not). They lack resources to check this. |
