[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 163243, member: 33"]I agree with Susan -- especially about the hair. Jiggs Donahue's hair looked very straight, not wavy or curly. By the way, the baseball player's last name is spelled [B]Donahue[/B], not Donohue. Not that it matters. The writing on the back of the photo is probably not a signature, as most people who were well known signed photos on the front. Too bad about Jiggs, as he died at age 34 of mental illness probably caused by syphilis. Here is a site that shows drawings of Chicago White Stockings/Sox uniforms through history: [URL]http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/rwas/index.php?category=3&id=2104[/URL] Obviously, whoever wrote that was a big Sox fan, as can be noticed by the derogatory language about the Cubs![/QUOTE]
