  This photograph is flipped horizontally. The "NY" logo should be on McGraw's left sleeve.

  There's probably a Kickhams club in every county in Ireland. I note that the Ballymun Kickhams club was formed in 1969 when CJ Kickhams and Ballymun Gaels merged. There is a Kickhams club in Dundrum Tipperary but I imagine that the photograph comes from the old CJ Kickhams on Dublins north side! The Glasnevin Ballymun area in those days was rural and they are a healthy bunch of young men.

  Swordscookie Thought that too! ONLY nagging doubt is that most Poole photos were taken in South/South-East of the country, and that's why I was slightly veering towards a Tipperary team. On the other hand, might indeed have been the Dublin team pictured before/after a match in the South-East...

  As a Cal football player, the "Dread of Stanford" blocked a punt for a safety to give the Bears a 2-0 win in the 1901 Big Game. He later threw a Game 5 shutout to seal the Cubs' last championship in 1908. Hats off to the first Golden Bear in the majors! www.baseball-reference.com/o/overaor01.shtml

  I'm going to go with Van Lingle Mungo for greatest name, or maybe Ugly Dickshot (yes, really), but Orval Overall is pretty high up the list.
