Photo id help Jim Bunning?
Recently picked this up online but looking for opinions on if that is a pre rookie Jim Bunning in the back row 2nd from right. If so it would make it a 1952 team photo.
Any help with the id would be appreciated. Thanks

Can you post a bigger scan, or crop the scan to just the guy you're referring to? It's tough to tell from the automatically-resized image.

Does not look like Bunning to me, looks like Pesky to left. Bunning was like 6'3". I believe Pesky was about 5-10.
Is that Kaline, bottom center, below owner???? If so that would be 1953 photo. correction: Bad information I gave about Pesky, not Pesky, but still not Bunning.

Not Jim
I agree that this does not appear to big a young Jim Bunning.
Sorry!

Excuse my ignorance but if this is supposed to be a photo of Detroit Tigers players then why do the caps have a "W" on them and why does the last guy on the bottom row to the far right have a "W" on both his jersey and his cap?

Possibly the Williamsport Tigers, Bunning played for in 1952. Looking at the photo again, can you crop again, but this time the player, top row, second from left. He has the features of Jim Bunning, and appears tall enough. Also, Frank Bolling played for them the same year.

Bunning played for them in 1951 & 1952, in 1953, they were no longer associated with the Tigers and Bunning was piching for another minor league team, I forgot the team.
So if that is Bunning in top row, second from the left, it is one of the two years. School Boy Rowe was listed on the 1951 roster, if that helps, try to identify him, if you can't, then this must be a 1952 photo.

Thanks to all for the explanation.
After seeing so many eBay auctions listing an item with a Hall of Famer on it (but wasn't) and people coming on this board saying they have "X" item with "Y" player on it (and it wasn't) I was afraid this might be some town, school or company team that someone was inflating the importance of. David
