There was no team called the Pittsburgh Pirates - pro or amateur - in 1883, nobody named “Dick Mayes” ever played minor or major league ball, and nobody named “Mayes” or “Mays” was in pro ball in 1883.

Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig posing on the field with an unidentified gentleman. Although we have no way of confirming, we have seen another example of this image where the gentleman is identified as Dick Mayes, who played with Pittsburgh in the 1880spic.twitter.com/oz7koDXNAl

Anyone who has ever done sports/team PR has had situations where they had to drag their star player(s) to a photo opp that they didn’t want to do. That’s what this reminds me of. Also, I don’t remember seeing a photo where Gehrig looked more disinterested than he is in this one.

They were the Pittsburgh Alleghenys. Do not become "Pirates" until 1887.

The Pirates name came along in 1891, but the team itself didn't embrace the name until 1895 and it wasn't the official team name until many years later. Back in that era, nicknames were just that, nicknames, and they went by business names, like the Pittsburg(h) Base Ball Club

This man played at Recreation Park. The site is across the street from my office on PGH's NORTHSIDE, at that time still the City of Allegheny.

BBRef shows minor league teams in Pittsburg in 1877, '78 and '83, with various names, but no Pirates. They provide the usual very incomplete 1800s minor league roster info. He certainly could have played with one of the Pittsburg minor league teams in '83!
