L to R
Christy Walsh, Lou Gehrig, ?, Joe McCarthy, ?.
The guy in the middle looks familiar, but the guy on the end is a total mystery to me. Considering Walsh was the agent for both Gehrig and McCarthy, he could've arranged a meet and greet for anyone.
Is it for sale or just looking for information?

Looking at McCarthy's glove, I would say the other 2 are Glove Salesmen

i dont think thats Frank Leahy in the middle, it looks a bit like him but Leahy was born in 1908 which would make him 32 at most in this picture. The guy in the middle looks older than 32. Whomever it is was relatively well off based on how he's dressed expensive, shirt and suit.

I believe his name is Vinny. Are last names required to win the $100?

George Raft, Gehrig, Calvin Coolidge, McCarthy, Jean Harlow.

But all seriouslessness aside...
definitely not Walsh, nor Leahy, nor, and we're assuming this was just kidding the first place, not Grange neither.

The guy in the middle looks like Joseph V. McKee who was mayor of New York for a very short time in 1932.

Can't be Jones, who was 5' 8", while Gehrig stood at 6'.

I really don't see how that could be Walsh.

Pic of Walsh:



The nose just doesn't match up at all.


As for the rest of the guesses in this thread I am starting some people need to see their doctor about getting diagnosed for Prosopagnosia.

It is similar to the ebay postings of photos that always have a young Wagner, Ruth, or Cobb on some farm team.

Either way, it's nice of you to offer up the $100 reward.

The first person to come up with reasonable matches gets the $100.

Unless they are playing the Giants, they aren't in NYC.
Probably post-Ruth unless Gehrig is receiving an award, but I see no award. DiMaggio was a stud in 1937/38, so wouldn't he be in a photo-shoot like this?

Probably 1935-36, if at a World Series it is either the Giants (1936,37) or the Cubs (1938).

What stadium is that in the background? Polo Grounds? The field looks shitty and the guy on the left is wearing cowboy boots.

If you go with the 1935 or 36 World Series, away game at the Polo Grounds, does that help?

Okay, I give up. All I can come up with is this custom-made Wienermobile that was displayed in Chicago in 1936.

So you don't actually know who is in the photo? That info would have been pertinent at the start of this "contest".... Three of these guys in this photo could be joe blows from Jersey.

Could the man in the middle be Alfred Smith, governor of New York during the 20's?

What are the available clues? Nice clothes? Most everyone dressed like that in the 1930s.

From a football person who knows very little about early baseball legends:

Walsh, Gehrig, Charles Lindbergh, McCarthy, Howard Hughes.

Joseph McKee - NY City politician and interim Mayor in 1932. Looks like the guy in the middle to me.

Definitely not Lindbergh. He would have only been about 30 when this photo was taken. The man in the middle looks to be at least ten to fifteen years older than that. Plus he doesn't really look like him.

I think there is a decent chance the man on the left next to Gehrig is Howard Hughes, who would have been 25 to 30 when this photo was taken:

The problem is, I can identify the five guys in front but I can only identify about half of the people sitting in the stands.
