Default 1947 Old Timers Lineup

Thanks Steve. Selkirk was in the lineup, but would have been only 39 (born in 1908) at the time of the game. The gentleman in the photo looks, at least to me, at least to be in his 50s. I also could not find any pics of him with glasses. It would seem he would regularly wear them if he was wearing them at this time.
Imagine getting autographs from this group:
The Yankees Lineup was: Frank Baker, Duffy Lewis, Wally Schang, Wally Pipp, Herb Pennock, Bob Meusel, Earle Combs, Waite Hoyt, Lefty Gomez, Red Ruffing, Red Rolfe, George Selkirk, Roger Peckinpaugh, Buddy Hassett and Johnny Sturm managed by Joe McCarthy.

Connie Mack managed a squad of former All-Stars including Tris Speaker, Al Simmons, George Sisler, Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Cochrane, Lefty Grove, Chief Bender, Cy Young, Ed Walsh and Ty Cobb.
