I'll never understand why people are so horrible at identifying people in photographs. Are you guys like that with your own family photos? Are you sure that old photo of your great grandfather isn't really your uncle?

Even though Charleston and Williams are 100% absolutely NOT in this almost certainly fake photo, it does still have 4 HOFers. Josh Gibson, Ray Brown, Buck Leonard, and Jud Wilson are all there. Maybe the problem is that it's actually Josh Gibson and not Net54 Josh Gibson (i.e. any random black guy in a photo or postcard you own).

I can see missing Vic Harris or Sam Bankhead or Roy Partlow or Johnny Wright or Howard Easterling or Roy Welmaker or Jerry Benjamin or guys like that. But Gibson, Leonard, Brown and Wilson all have plaques with their faces on them in Cooperstown.
