The one with Buster Adams, is Murray O'Flynn. He was in the Reds' minor league system in 1937-1938 (Durham, NC).

Thanks guys. Any chance pic 4 #1 is Bill Tuttle? I can’t find a single exemplar with that type of last name, especially the “T” - but I keep seeing “Tuttle”.

I thought it may be Bill Miller pitcher for the Yankees and Orioles 1952-55.

I believe #4 is Bill Miller. He pitched from 1952-1955 for the Yankees.

I just finished looking at the major league rosters for every team in 1951-1952, and I didn't find any Petes or Peters who could be #5 on any of them.

Wow, thanks for spending the time to do that. I appreciate the help!

Well, there is always the chance it was not an active player. Other signatures in this book included Waite Hoyt and Rabbit Maranville, so I’m not sure if they had some official capacity with a team or were just hanging out at the ballpark.

Also, I did find a trainer and a few managers in here. It sure does look like “Pete Pavlich” or something like that.

Found a Pete Pavlick on Baseball Refrence who played in Oakland in 51 and Seattle/Toronto in 52.
