The picture came from Kelly's estate. It also was accompanied with another shot of the players on the field. And, the boat's name is also correct as IDed on the lifesaver.
Best of all, this group shot was used in a book as one picture of the assembled teammates.
Highpockets is clearly visible (that's why this went in the auction of his belongings with the on the field shot). I have several other shots of him against which to compare (also from the sale of his estate) -- all with his estate stamp on the reverse.
So...the big question isn't whether or not this is authentic and whether or not it is from the 31 'tour. The remaining issue is identifying those gathered here. The book IDed the tour members but didn't ID those in the different photos.
I guess I should have spelled this out in my first post, that this originated from his personal belongings...especially since Kelly isn't that recognizable a face to most folks.
Thanks to all those who have dropped by this thread and reviewed the photo.
