1930's White Sox ID help needed
 

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>I picked up a group of George Burke Stamps the other day, and can't for the life of me figure out who this player is. Would be in the 1935-37 range. They were all White Sox players in the group.<br />Any help is appreciated.<br />-Rhett<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1177034585.JPG">

Posted By: <b>RC</b><p>It sure looks like "Dom Gulli" but I can't find him in the Player Register. I teach school and I can usually figure out the handwriting!!<br /><br />Is it possible that he never actually had an at bat or a pitch in the Bigs?<br /><br />Next step would probably be to see if there is a set list for these.<br /><br />You have roused my curiosity.<br /><br />Good luck!<br />RC<br /><br />This site doesn't list him either, there is a Tom Gulley from '26.<br /><a href="http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/history/players.jsp?sortby=name&filter=G&ATRsection=2" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/history/players.jsp?sortby=name&filter=G&ATRsection=2</a" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/cws/history/players.jsp?sortby=name&filter=G&ATRsection=2</a</a>>

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Probably a minor leaguer who came to Spring Training with the White Sox in 1935 and never made the major leagues.

Posted By: <b>brian</b><p>you're probably right because i can't find a record of anyone named Vito Paradiso ever playing in the majors either unless the last name is misspelled.

Posted By: <b>David Kern</b><p>I'm glad you received the stamps (a liitle feedback never hurts). I was unable to identify either player; I'll be interested to see if anyone comes up with anything. Unsuccessful areas were:<br />1. Major League Player - no record (Baseball-reference)<br />2. Minor League Player - no record (Minor League Player Database, goes back to 1929)<br />3. Coach or team personnel - there were some team trainers/doctors in the other stamps I didn't sell you but nothing turned up in old rosters, media guides, references.<br />4. Checklist of the set - I don't think one exists. George Burke's assistant/partner George Brace continued his photography work for years, the archives lists are available at Brace Photo - nothing turned up there either.<br />5. Some friend of George Burke's that he threw in for fun? - maybe so.<br />Good luck in the quest.
